Job description

The Problem

As Flock expands its cloud footprint across thousands of deployed services and infrastructure components, empowering cloud engineering teams to move fast without sacrificing stability is essential to scaling our operations. Reducing operational friction across our software development lifecycle requires dedicated tooling, streamlined CI/CD pipelines, and robust developer experience workflows. You will eliminate developer toil, build resilient deployment systems, and elevate cloud engineering productivity across the entire organization.

What You’ll Own

• Architect and refine developer experience tooling and CI/CD pipelines to ensure cloud software changes are deployed reliably and efficiently.

• Own and manage developer self-service tooling and operational processes surrounding secrets management, deployment rollbacks, and infrastructure best practices.

• Partner with cloud engineering teams to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues, observe production health, and reduce operational friction.

• Participate in the Cloud SRE weekly on-call rotation to maintain production availability and resolve system incidents under pressure.

• Write performant, production-grade automation code and tests in Go and TypeScript to support cloud developer experience workflows.

What This Role is Not

• This isn’t a traditional product feature development position, your primary customers are internal cloud engineers and your product is their developer velocity.

• This is not a rigid, static operations desk, you will switch contexts and pivot priorities swiftly to address urgent cloud infrastructure challenges.

• This isn’t a manual gatekeeping or ticketing role, you will build automated self-service systems that empower engineering teams to own their deployments safely.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience writing production-quality code in Go or TypeScript alongside automated testing suites.

• Hands-on proficiency with cloud-native infrastructure tooling including Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS infrastructure.

• Practical understanding of observability, distributed troubleshooting, CI/CD refinement, and disaster recovery principles.

• Capability to navigate context switching effectively and operate asynchronously in a high-trust, collaborative environment.

Compensation

In this role, you’ll receive a starting salary between $140,000 and $165,000 as well as Flock Stock Options. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education/training, as well as market indicators. Your recruiter will discuss this in depth with you during our first chat.

Why Flock

Every community deserves to be safe. Flock builds the technology that makes that real: last year we supported over 1 million criminal investigations and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people. We’re 1,700 people building the impossible with over $1B in funding, and the expectations are high on purpose. If you want a role where the stakes are real and the pace matches, this is it.

Some problems get solved faster in the same room, so we prioritize candidates in Atlanta and Boston. Hub-based roles mean real in-person time with your coworkers. Remote roles exist, and when a posting is open to remote work, it says so.

Building the impossible takes every kind of mind. Flock is an equal opportunity employer, and we know the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills working together with mutual respect. Everyone is welcome to apply. If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, email [e-mail]; your information stays confidential and is used only to arrange the right accommodation for your interviews.

On compensation: we pay fairly for the work. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education, training, and market indicators. The range in this posting covers base salary only and doesn’t include equity, sales bonus plans where applicable, or benefits. The range may be adjusted over time, and this posting may span more than one career level.

One last thing: all legitimate communication from Flock comes from an email ending in @flocksafety.com or [e-mail]. We never make offers through messaging apps or third parties, and we never request payment or sensitive personal information during hiring.
