Company mission
To create safer, happier communities and cities by pre-emptively fighting crime.
Role
Who you are
- Professional software engineering experience using languages such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript
- Practical proficiency with SQL database querying, REST API structures, authentication mechanisms, and common data formats including JSON, XML, and CSV
- Working knowledge of core networking concepts, including VPNs, firewalls, IP allowlisting, and SSL/TLS
- Strong written and verbal communication skills to explain technical requirements to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Ability and willingness to travel between 25% and 50% for customer deployments and onsite discovery
- Prior experience in customer-facing engineering roles, cloud platforms, or containerization technologies is a plus
What the job involves
- As Flock continues to expand across diverse customer environments, bridging product engineering with real-world deployments is critical to scaling our customer onboarding motion
- Implementing integrations across varied municipal and enterprise systems requires dedicated forward deployment engineers who can translate technical constraints into reliable configurations
- You will partner directly with customers, write software for robust system integrations, and accelerate deployment execution across our expanding customer base
- Lead technical discovery conversations and manage customer software integrations end-to-end from initial scoping through deployment
- Configure, test, and maintain software tools and integrations that connect Flock technology with customer applications and networks
- Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues involving REST APIs, networking configurations, authentication methods, and data formats
- Create clear technical documentation, implementation guides, and troubleshooting resources to standardize customer onboarding experiences
- Partner with internal Engineering and Product teams to feed implementation insights directly into core product improvements
- This isn't an internal desk-bound software development role, you will work directly with external customers and travel regionally 25% to 50% of the time
- This is not a purely reactive customer support or helpdesk function, you will write integration code, design technical workflows, and proactively guide implementation architecture
- This isn't an isolated sales engineering position, your primary focus is driving technical implementation and software execution rather than top-of-funnel deal closing
Our take
Public vehicle surveillance provides valuable insights to emergency services for the prevention of crime, but bringing information together to create leads is difficult. There's no standardised system for inter-city vehicle surveillance, and this makes it difficult for communities and law enforcement services to work together.
Flock provides surveillance equipment that aims to improve the abilities of law enforcement and homeowner associations to communicate data with each other. The company focuses on vehicle surveillance, innovating on existing technology by using machine learning to categorise vehicles by color, license plate, state, and other data points.
Whilst automated surveillance equipment is used daily within federal police forces, Flock builds technology systems that provide a means for smaller law enforcement agencies to quantify and share surveillance data easily. The company has raised strong funding to support the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities. But it has also faced a large dose of backlash from groups and individuals who are concerned about its capability for mass surveillance and the privacy of the data it collects.
