Role
Who you are
- Mastery of modern frontend web technologies, application design patterns, and user interface development using React and TypeScript
- Experience building map-based data visualizations using mapping libraries such as Mapbox or the Google Maps API
- Fullstack working context with Node.js web services and modern API design concepts like REST, GraphQL, or gRPC
- Practical understanding of backend microservice interaction patterns and relational databases like PostgreSQL to collaborate effectively with backend peers
- Resourceful problem-solving skills in ambiguous technical environments with a track record of continuous learning
- Familiarity with AWS managed services or frontend performance optimization for high-traffic applications is a plus
What the job involves
- Search is one of the most critical tools at Flock, serving as the daily interface our customers depend on to follow leads, identify vehicles, and resolve cases faster
- As our user base scales and product requirements evolve, delivering an intuitive, performant search interface requires deep frontend technical leadership and seamless fullstack context
- You will champion our frontend web architecture, optimize high-traffic search experiences, and partner cross-functionally across a React, TypeScript, and Node stack
- Lead the architectural evolution and frontend execution for core Search features across a React, TypeScript, and Node web stack
- Partner closely with product, design, and backend engineering peers to translate user research and design mocks into performant user experiences
- Build complex map-based data visualizations and geospatial interfaces to help users navigate high-density location data effortlessly
- Champion frontend engineering standards, conduct thorough code reviews, and elevate technical execution across the Search engineering team
- Monitor and optimize client-side performance, state management, and data retrieval for high-traffic, data-heavy web applications
- This isn't a backend-heavy or infrastructure-focused engineering role, your day-to-day focus centers primarily on frontend architecture and web user experiences
- This is not a purely visual design or prototyping job, you will write production-grade code, maintain web services, and ship features directly into production
- This isn't an isolated contribution role, you will participate in customer calls, actively engage in team retro items, and mentor peers through code reviews
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.
