Senior DevOps Engineer

At Flowhub, we're on a mission to make legal cannabis accessible to everyone. Founded in 2015, Flowhub pioneered the first Metrc API integration to help dispensaries stay compliant. Today, over 1,000 dispensaries trust Flowhub's point of sale, inventory management, business intelligence, and mobile solutions to process $3B+ cannabis sales annually.

Flowhub creates user-friendly business management and compliance products that increase revenue in the highly regulated cannabis industry.

• Improve developer efficiency and reduce toil by building, supporting, and improving the tooling they use every day

• Help to identify and fill any critical gaps in our data application architecture or our security posture
