About Ironflow AI

We are building the world’s first AI-native ERP for defense tech — a system that thinks, reasons, and acts alongside the people who build, protect, and defend our way of life.

We’re not patching old ideas with a flashy new user interface. We’re starting fresh — reimagining how software supports operations at the cutting edge of the defense tech revolution. Built by veterans, engineers, and operators who’ve lived the pain of legacy systems. Ironflow combines natural language, intelligent agents, and real-world rigor to empower the frontline with clarity and speed.

If you're bold, decisive, and obsessed with impact — join us. This is where curiosity meets purpose.

Why This Role Matters

The AI layer is the beating heart of Ironflow. As our founding AI / LLM engineer, you won’t just write prompts — you’ll define how the system thinks. You’ll architect the orchestration layer that enables streaming chat, multi-agent coordination, and backend execution across ERP workflows. Your work will determine how our software reasons, adapts, and collaborates with users — at scale, and in real time.

What You’ll Own

  • Build the LLM orchestration layer using tools like LangChain, AutoGen, or CrewAI
  • Design agentic workflows that track state, propose actions, and complete multi-step tasks
  • Create structured prompting systems with function-calling, memory, and safety constraints
  • Prototype agent behavior : retries, fallback logic, chained reasoning, reactive flows
  • Collaborate with frontend and backend teams to power chat-driven "widget conjuring" UIs
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging frameworks for performance, safety, and extensibility

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in Python and backend development
  • Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Claude) and orchestration frameworks
  • Proven ability to design systems that combine tool use, memory, and autonomous reasoning
  • Bonus : Familiarity with Django, GraphQL, or backend ERP workflows
  • Bias for action and a track record of shipping prototypes that evolve into production
  • Entrepreneurial spirit — you thrive in ambiguity, build from scratch, and think in systems
  • How We Work

    We value autonomy, urgency, and ownership. Everyone at Ironflow moves fast, solves real problems, and holds a high bar for craft. We expect you to lead — not just follow — and to build systems that stand up to real-world complexity while staying clean and maintainable.

    We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
