Company mission
To create safer, happier communities and cities by pre-emptively fighting crime.
Role
Who you are
- Demonstrated experience leading or running a PSIRT, product security, or coordinated vulnerability disclosure function, ideally within connected hardware or IoT environments
- Deep operational experience acting as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) or implementing the FIRST PSIRT Services Framework across discovery, triage, remediation, and disclosure
- Hands-on technical background in product security across embedded or firmware security, Linux or Android device security, AWS cloud security, or mobile application security
- Expertise applying CVSS, CWE, EPSS, and SSVC frameworks to evaluate risk and assign accurate vulnerability severities
- Strong written communication skills with the capability to translate complex technical vulnerabilities into clear advisories for customers, engineers, and executives
What the job involves
- As Flock rapidly expands its fleet of connected hardware devices and cloud platforms, establishing a dedicated, centralized product security response program is critical to protecting our public safety network
- Managing vulnerabilities across hardware, firmware, and cloud systems requires a single point of accountability to coordinate disclosures and drive fixes to closure
- You will stand up our Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), serve as the technical owner of our Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) program, and safeguard the products our customers depend on
- Own the operational model and execution of Flock's Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) across every externally reported and internally discovered product vulnerability
- Serve as the operational lead for our CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), managing vulnerability intake, triage SLAs, severity rubrics, and public CVE record publishing
- Drive cross-functional remediation efforts across Hardware, Firmware, Device SRE, Cloud SRE, Mobile, Legal, Communications, and Support to ensure timely patch delivery
- Author clear, accurate public security advisories, internal postmortems, and executive summaries tailored to technical, legal, and leadership audiences
- Establish metrics and operational reporting for PSIRT performance, tracking time-to-triage, time-to-fix, and time-to-disclose
- This isn't a people management position, you are an individual contributor who drives execution and policy adherence through cross-functional influence
- This is not a corporate security or internal SOC role, your sole focus centers on product security, field devices, and embedded software platforms
- This isn't a passive triage desk, you will actively guide technical remediation strategies and defend severity decisions with engineering leaders and external security researchers
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.
