Developer Relations Lead WHY FLUX Flux is taking the hard out of hardware, by developing the first AI Hardware Engineer. Our goal is to democratize the ability to create bleeding edge hardware, and revolutionize how electronics are designed and built around the world. ABOUT THE ROLE Flux is building the default starting point for hardware design. We are hiring a Developer Relations Lead to own community, product education, and customer-driven technical storytelling so engineers can learn Flux, trust it, and succeed without heavy support.
