Company mission
To provide every retiring landlord with the most flexible and reliable exit.
Role
Who you are
- You have led engineers at a growth-stage fintech or financial infrastructure company, and you are ready to step up. You want real ownership of the technical direction of a company
- Still close to the code. You have written meaningful production code in the last year, and you want to keep doing so
- You have shipped software where correctness mattered: payments, lending, brokerage, infrastructure, anything where a wrong line of code costs real money or real trust
- You frame the problem before you solve it, and you make the people around you do the same
- You have opinions about what should be built and the conviction to argue for them, including with the CEO and COO
- You are calm under pressure and able to parse noise from signal
- You are comfortable context switching rapidly: being the product manager, the architect, and a senior engineer in the same week
- You want to be in an office, in person, with the team, five days a week. If you are not energized by that, this is not the role for you
What the job involves
- Build Flock Homes 2.0 while scaling Flock Homes 1.0. That is the job in one line
- You will run engineering at Flock - the people, the roadmap, the architecture, the sprints, and a meaningful share of the code
- We are a lean team, without a product manager, so you will also be the person responsible for translating business vision to product vision, and the person who says no when the answer should be no
- We want someone with strong opinions about what is worth building and the conviction to argue for them, who owns technical direction rather than waiting for it to be handed to them, and who holds a high standard for what is allowed to ship as version one
- This is a player-coach seat today with a path to CTO for the person who earns it
- What you will own in the first 12 to 18 months
- Throughput. Continue to scale our core exchange fund’s existing infrastructure so that our funnel can handle five to ten times today's volume without five to ten times the people
- New solutions. Leverage, replicate and refine our existing infrastructure to support the launch of new exchange funds and new vehicles, e.g. for specific regions or new asset classes
- Flock 2.0 and distribution. Build custom products and integrations for distribution via financial advisors and custodial platforms
- Go-to-market experiments. Run fast ship, measure, and close-out cycles with the business. Most of these will fail. We need them to fail fast and cheaply
- What you will do:
- Set and own technical direction, architecture, and engineering standards
- Run sprints, allocate work, and keep the team shipping against clear priorities
- Manage requirements: translate stakeholder asks into requirements, sequence the roadmap, and push back when an idea is not worth building
- Write and review code, and hold the bar on what ships
- Hire, develop, and retain engineers as the team grows
- Scope new products and help refine business vision into product vision
- Work directly with the CEO, COO, acquisitions, investor relations, and operations
Our take
For many landlords, managing a property successfully can be a time-consuming and challenging process. Flock solves this problem with its innovative rental management alternative.
Flock offers retiring or accidental landlords the opportunity to trade their properties for a share in a portfolio of properties. This allows them to make a steady income for a fraction of the effort. This novel approach has proven attractive, with Flock raising an impressive $26M in funding in 2022.
Demand for disruption in the property market is growing steadily, and Flock's imaginative and effective alternative is proving popular. Funding rounds in 2022 and 2023 have positioned the company well for future growth. If it continues to invest wisely, it has the potential to scale rapidly and make a truly significant impact in the industry.
