Now surpassing a $7.5B valuation, Flock is scaling intentionally and seeking the best and brightest to help us meet our goal of reducing crime in the United States by 25% in the next three years.

The Opportunity

The Nova team is building a “single pane of glass” for investigators. The purpose is to connect the investigator to the many disparate sources of data they already have access to in order to make it easier to “connect the dots” and build a picture around their case work. The technical challenges to enable these tools are diverse and sophisticated. The team needs another strong engineer to collaborate and contribute to the product as well as build stronger bindings to the overall Flock Software Platform. Our engineers work directly with our customers and are able to react with high value and often real life impacting results. Flock believes that many facets of our work are “Better Together” and that infuses how we think about the various products we offer as well as how we work together individually and collectively. This provides a vast opportunity to work across multiple teams and skillsets and not only elevate the company but our engineers as well.
