Flow RMS is building FlowConnect — the real-time coordination and intelligence layer for the entire industrial supply chain.
FlowConnect combines AI, collaboration, network data, and operational tooling for manufacturers, reps, distributors, and associations. We're looking for a Senior Lead Engineer who can own major parts of this platform, lead a team, and help define what the future of industrial B2B SaaS looks like.What You’ll Do1. Lead Architecture & System Design
- Own architecture for a large-scale, multi-tenant B2B SaaS platform.
- Make key decisions around Next.js (frontend) and Nest.JS (backend) with strong opinions on clean, consistent patterns.
- Ensure scalability, high-performance data flows, and clean boundaries between services (auth, real-time messaging, market directory, AI workflows, etc.).
2. Guide a Team of Engineers
- Provide code reviews that make junior and mid-level engineers better without slowing them down.
- Establish engineering standards, patterns, and documentation that keep the codebase clean and predictable.
- Collaborate with international teams (U.S., Paraguay, Pakistan, etc.) and maintain high output and accountability.
3. Work Directly With Customers & Product
- Join customer discovery calls to understand workflows and pain points.
- Translate real customer language into product requirements, lightweight specs, and actionable engineering tasks.
- Make sure what we build matches what customers actually need.
4. Deliver Features End-to-End
- Work across the full stack to build high-quality product features and internal tools.
- Own the delivery timeline — plan, break down work, and ensure the team ships on schedule.
- Help design UI/UX alongside product for clarity, speed, and professional polish.
5. Integrate AI in Real Workflows
- Use agentic AI tools (Claude Code, GPT-5 Agents, etc.) to improve speed and code quality.
- Help architect AI-driven modules like FlowBot, agent orchestration, document parsing, and knowledge retrieval.
- Understand embeddings, RAG, message buses, workflow engines, and how AI fits into a real production system.
Tech Stack You’ll Work InYou don’t need every single one, but you must be fully fluent in the star components:Core
- Next.js (App Router, server components, streaming, performance patterns)
- Nest.JS (modular monolith structure, dependency injection, providers, guards, interceptors)
- PostgreSQL / Drizzle ORM / Neon
AI / Agentic Tools
- Claude Code / GPT-5 agents
- LangChain or equivalent
- Vector DBs (Qdrant, Pinecone)
- Retrieval and workflow orchestration
Who You AreThis is not a junior or mid-level role. You are:
- A seasoned engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping production SaaS products.
- A systems thinker, able to zoom out to architecture and zoom in to refactor a messy function.
- Strong with Next.js and Nest.JS at a professional, battle-tested level.
- Comfortable leading teams, structuring work, setting direction, and holding people accountable.
- A product-minded engineer, not a ticket-taker — you think in terms of customer outcomes.
- AI-forward, experimenting with agentic tools, using them to improve speed and quality.
- Opinionated about code quality, structure, and maintainability.
- Comfortable in fast-paced environments, where speed, clarity, and consistent output matter.
Nice to Have
- Experience with B2B SaaS, especially platforms with network effects
- Experience with collaboration tools, chat/messaging infrastructure, or real-time systems
- Experience designing multi-org, multi-role permission systems
- Experience with geospatial data or map libraries (MapLibre, PostGIS)
- Experience leading distributed teams
Why Join Flow RMS / FlowConnect
- You’ll help build a new category: the coordination layer for the industrial supply chain.
- You’ll work with founders who ship quickly, think clearly, and operate at a high standard.
- You’ll directly shape how manufacturing reps, distributors, and manufacturers collaborate nationwide.
- You’ll lead a team building a platform used across the entire industry.
- You’ll be part of a fast-growing company that reinvests heavily in product development.
