Job summary

Flock is hiring an Engineering Lead for the Acquisition team in London. You’ll co-lead delivery with the PM, ship production code in TypeScript, and mentor engineers to raise standards while shaping how AI tools are used across the team.

You’ll own end-to-end delivery, drive CI/CD and observability improvements, and balance reliability with cost across AWS services. Hybrid work is offered in a dynamic, AI-driven environment.

Qualifications

• Significant experience with AWS and modern serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch) or other cloud platforms.
• A pragmatic approach to technical decisions, balancing reliability, observability, performance and cost, and bringing engineers along on the reasoning.
• Track record of raising engineering standards as a force-multiplier, through code reviews, pairing, design discussions and shaping long-term technical direction.
• Strong communication skills; able to represent the team upwards and translate business goals into clear technical scope and delivery plans.
• Experience improving developer experience, CI/CD, release practices and delivery cadence across a team.
• Confident using AI development tools every day, with experience of helping a team adopt them without letting quality slip.

Responsibilities

• Lead delivery and technical quality for the Acquisition team, working with the PM to ship features that impact how fleets find and choose Flock.
• Write high-quality, well-tested TypeScript and own end-to-end delivery to production.
• Co-own the team’s success with the PM, from scoping to delivery and impact measurement.
• Guide and mentor engineers to raise standards and share ownership of technical direction.
• Drive improvements to developer experience, CI/CD, observability and release practices.
• Set the example on AI-assisted development and balance automation with human judgement.
