Role
Who you are
- You love leading people and teams, specifically engineering, security and privacy (5+ yrs)
- Foster a culture where security and privacy are seen as competitive advantages and enablers of innovation, not roadblocks. This means championing Security-by-Design and Privacy-by-Design principles
- Proven ability to influence product strategy and investment decisions with limited direct authority, requiring exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management across Product, Legal, and Engineering
- Experience in hiring, mentoring, and retaining highly specialized engineers (AppSec, Privacy Engineering, Cryptography) who can operate effectively in a fast-paced product development environment
- Engineering experience with TypeScript, Rust, go, Python, Kotlin, C, Bash, Swift
- Development experience within embedded systems/firmware design at multiple stages of the product life cycle (prototyping, pre-production engineering validation, release and scaling)
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills to articulate complex security and privacy risks to executive leadership, legal, and engineering teams
- Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive alignment on security priorities and trade-offs without direct authority
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple complex security initiatives simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
- A product and customer centric mindset with a focus on enabling business goals while maintaining the highest level of security and privacy
- Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day

- Lead the Product Security Review process, including threat modeling, security architecture reviews, and penetration testing oversight for new and existing features

- Partner with Legal and GRC teams to translate evolving privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) into engineering requirements and best practices
- Drive incident response and vulnerability management processes for all product-related issues
- Mentor and develop a team of high-performing security and privacy engineers
- The First 30 Days

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.
