Company mission
To create safer, happier communities and cities by pre-emptively fighting crime.
Role
Who you are
- Demonstrated experience writing production-quality code in Go or TypeScript alongside automated testing suites
- Hands-on proficiency with cloud-native infrastructure tooling including Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS infrastructure
- Practical understanding of observability, distributed troubleshooting, CI/CD refinement, and disaster recovery principles
- Capability to navigate context switching effectively and operate asynchronously in a high-trust, collaborative environment
What the job involves
- As Flock expands its cloud footprint across thousands of deployed services and infrastructure components, empowering cloud engineering teams to move fast without sacrificing stability is essential to scaling our operations
- Reducing operational friction across our software development lifecycle requires dedicated tooling, streamlined CI/CD pipelines, and robust developer experience workflows
- You will eliminate developer toil, build resilient deployment systems, and elevate cloud engineering productivity across the entire organization
- Architect and refine developer experience tooling and CI/CD pipelines to ensure cloud software changes are deployed reliably and efficiently
- Own and manage developer self-service tooling and operational processes surrounding secrets management, deployment rollbacks, and infrastructure best practices
- Partner with cloud engineering teams to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues, observe production health, and reduce operational friction
- Participate in the Cloud SRE weekly on-call rotation to maintain production availability and resolve system incidents under pressure
- Write performant, production-grade automation code and tests in Go and TypeScript to support cloud developer experience workflows
- This isn't a traditional product feature development position, your primary customers are internal cloud engineers and your product is their developer velocity
- This is not a rigid, static operations desk, you will switch contexts and pivot priorities swiftly to address urgent cloud infrastructure challenges
- This isn't a manual gatekeeping or ticketing role, you will build automated self-service systems that empower engineering teams to own their deployments safely
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.
