Company mission
To create safer, happier communities and cities by pre-emptively fighting crime.
Role
Who you are
- Demonstrated capability writing performant production code in Python or TypeScript to build scalable backend web services and microservices
- Deep database proficiency with PostgreSQL, OLAP databases, and Redis to optimize complex data access patterns and real-time retrieval without sacrificing latency
- Practical experience implementing agentic workflows, function calling, Model Context Protocol tools, and prompt engineering with major LLM APIs
- Strong background in cloud-native infrastructure, including hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
- Demonstrated capability taking ambiguous technical problems in zero-to-one product spaces and translating them into clear architectural roadmaps
- Experience with LLM evaluation frameworks, vector search, or infrastructure-as-code is a plus
What the job involves
- As Flock scales its investigative platform, building capabilities that directly accelerate how investigators surface critical evidence is essential to helping agencies resolve cases faster
- You will design reliable backend systems, build agentic integration frameworks, and ensure our AI tools remain accurate, performant, and grounded in real-time data
- Lead the architectural evolution and backend execution for Flock's investigative workflows
- Design and deploy high-performance orchestration backends that manage complex LLM tool-calling, function execution, and multi-step reasoning workflows
- Engineer high-throughput integration pipelines and secure connectors linking conversational interfaces directly to core data platform microservices
- Partner with Machine Learning and Data Engineering teams to bridge unstructured LLM outputs with structured internal APIs, maintaining strict schema validation and error handling
- This isn't a front-end or UI-focused engineering position, your work centers strictly on backend microservices, database access patterns, API design, and LLM orchestration
- This isn't a greenfield prototype lab with loose operational standards, you will build production-grade, low-latency infrastructure capable of handling high-volume data streams 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.
