Join Flux!

Flux was created inside of Google X with a mission to improve the quality of buildings worldwide. We build technology that removes barriers between designers, engineers, builders and suppliers to enable better, faster decision making, lowering the cost, shortening the build time and improving the quality of the built environment.

Team Culture
Software development at Flux is a collaborative effort between the engineering, product, and customer-facing teams. We work on small teams that take ownership of design, implementation, support, and quality. We value good engineering practices such as design documentation, unit testing, continuous integration, and code reviews. We use and contribute to open source software. Flux has a strong culture of respect and professionalism, and there is open communication between all layers and all areas of the company.

Flux employees are motivated by the expectation that we will leave a meaningful mark on our industry. Many have very strong educational backgrounds, and all share an ability to work efficiently in order to find elegant solutions to complex problems. We love our beautifully renovated old printshop headquarters in San Francisco’s SOMA area, where we regularly find time to host hackathons and jam sessions, and share meals in our commercial-quality kitchen.
