About Us
FlowGen Labs is a frontier enterprise AI company building the zero-touch enterprise: context-aware agents that operate inside highly customized SAP environments at machine speed, grounded in each company’s ontology, live operational data, and operating procedures so complex workflows can run autonomously instead of relying on manual support teams. FlowGen is focused on turning legacy ERP from a system of record into an execution layer for finance and operations. Deployed at Fortune 500 companies across CPG, distribution, high tech, and oil and gas, FlowGen Labs brings together a frontier AI and SAP team from DeepMind, SAP, Meta AI, and Amazon AGI Labs.
Role SummaryYou will own a zero-to-one product and its infrastructure. You will build the secure connector and runtime that understands complex enterprise systems, the tooling experience developers use every day, and the analysis and planning engine that transforms legacy code. You will work directly with customers on high-leverage projects and help define our culture, our engineering bar, and our roadmap.
Design the agentic layer. Implement self-checking, reflection, and verification passes before results reach humans or downstream systems.
Experience orchestrating agentic workflows and retrieval augmented generation. Familiarity with LangGraph is a plus.
Stand up inference paths with low latency serving and token-level observability
Productionize prompt pipelines, retrieval, and light fine-tuning, where it moves the needle
Hands-on use of AI tools with clear ideas for applying AI to development, testing, data, and support.
Ownership mentality, crisp communication, and comfortable making decisions with 80 percent information.
Move fast without breaking things, not afraid to learn new stacks, bring a we will figure it out attitude.
Direct product and company impact with minimal bureaucracy.
High bar for craft, velocity, and pragmatic shipping.
