About Us
Flock Safety builds cloud software and connected hardware that help communities and organisations improve public safety. The company is best known for its networked camera systems, particularly around vehicle identification, which are designed to help identify and investigate incidents more quickly. The underlying problem it tackles is that many places rely on fragmented, hard to search footage and manual processes, which can slow down investigations and make it difficult to share information responsibly across teams. Flock’s approach combines devices installed in the real world with a central platform that organises, searches and manages the resulting data.
Its customers are typically organisations responsible for safety and security across a defined area. That can include local law enforcement and public sector agencies, as well as private entities such as neighbourhood associations, commercial properties, schools or campuses, and other operators who need visibility across entrances, car parks and surrounding roads. In practice, the platform is used by people who need to review events, collaborate with colleagues, and act on time sensitive information, often under clear policy and compliance constraints.
Within the SaaS ecosystem, Flock Safety sits in the physical security and public safety technology space, with a product that is part software subscription and part hardware enabled service. That means it operates at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, data platforms and edge devices, with ongoing responsibilities around reliability, security and privacy. For job seekers, this is a different environment from a purely digital SaaS product, because success depends not only on the web application but also on installation, device fleet management, networking, and the operational realities of customers who depend on the system day to day.
People who tend to thrive at Flock are those comfortable working on products that have real world impact and high expectations for uptime and data handling. Engineering roles are likely to span backend systems, web and mobile experiences, computer vision and data search, and the tooling needed to manage large fleets of devices. There is also room for skills in security, privacy, and compliance, given the sensitivity of the data and the need for careful access controls and auditability. On the commercial and customer side, teams such as implementation, customer success, support, and solutions engineering are important in a business where deployments and long term adoption matter as much as the initial sale.
What may appeal to candidates is the clarity of the mission and the tangible nature of the work, you can see how the product is used and why it matters to customers. It is also the kind of company where cross functional collaboration is likely to be central, because product decisions touch hardware, software, operations and customer policy. If you are motivated by building dependable systems, working through complex trade offs around safety and privacy, and supporting customers with demanding use cases, Flock Safety is likely to feel like a purposeful place to build your career.
