Full-Stack AI Product Engineer (Agents & Platform)

Location: Chicago, IL (Fulton Market; hybrid considered) Reports To: CTO Type: Full-Time Compensation: $150K–$175K base equity

Mission

Help FLOW develop and deliver an agent-driven, conversational product faster by building and integrating AI capabilities directly into the platform. You'll work hands-on with our CTO to deliver production features, improve developer velocity using modern AI tools, and reduce reliance on outsourced development over time.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship full-stack product features (front-end back-end) in a React-based app, Python-based API subsystems, and Azure environment.
• Develop and integrate purpose-built agents into a conversational UI — including streaming responses, state management, tool calling, and tight API coordination.
• Implement and maintain key AI patterns:

Agent orchestration

RAG workflows

Vector DB / retrieval pipelines

Evaluation and reliability improvements

• Improve development speed using modern AI coding tools responsibly while maintaining quality, test coverage, and maintainable patterns.
• Partner with the CTO to document systems, reduce fragile handoffs, and progressively internalize capabilities currently handled by vendors.

What Success Looks Like — First 90 Days

• Meaningful product increments shipped weekly alongside the CTO.
• Agent integration patterns are stable, documented, and repeatable.
• Development velocity improves measurably — faster front-end component delivery, better test coverage, and smoother agent-to-UI integration.

What We're Looking For

Required

• Strong full-stack engineering skills with shipped production SaaS features to show for it.
• Hands-on experience implementing AI features in real products (not just notebooks): agents, tool orchestration, or RAG.
• Comfort operating in Azure environments.

Preferred

• Experience with conversational interfaces and streaming UX.
• Experience integrating, processing, and transforming first-party data.
• Experience working in small teams with high ownership and ambiguity.
• Familiarity with Python, React, and modern backend patterns.

Compensation

Base salary: $150K–$175K depending on breadth and speed-to-impact, plus equity participation. Compensation structure is flexible and can include base equity milestone bonus.

FLOW is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
