Description

This PR introduces new job descriptions for engineering roles, which were previously missing from the FlowFuse handbook despite having an active engineering organization.

Specifically, this PR adds:

  • A Fullstack Engineer job description that reflects how engineers at FlowFuse work today: fullstack ownership, user-aware engineering, and incremental delivery in a distributed, async-first environment.
  • A Fullstack Engineer (AI-Focused) job description designed to bootstrap applied AI capability while remaining a fullstack role, rather than creating an AI-only or research-focused position.

Both job descriptions include a standardized hiring plan aligned with current FlowFuse practices:

  • resume review and short screener
  • engineering manager alignment call
  • a timeboxed take-home assignment with a candidate choice between an OSS contribution or a small application
  • a technical review focused on judgment, tradeoffs, and clarity rather than completeness
  • an explicit stance that AI tools are allowed and encouraged, with evaluation based on how and why they are used

The intent is to establish a clear, consistent baseline for hiring engineers, improve candidate experience, and ensure expectations are well-defined for both candidates and interviewers.
