Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Flock Safety sits at the intersection of cloud software and real-world deployments, pairing a software platform with connected devices and large-scale data flows. That combination makes a software engineering internship here relevant to a growing slice of the SaaS ecosystem where reliability, privacy considerations, and real-time experiences matter as much as feature delivery.
For someone building a long-term SaaS engineering career, this internship offers exposure to problems that translate across modern product companies: designing and shipping production features, working with APIs and integrations, and contributing to systems that emphasize performance and operational discipline. The description also signals a breadth of possible placements—data pipelines, platform integrations, real-time UX, or cloud video—each of which maps to durable SaaS competencies that remain valuable across domains.
This role tends to fit early-career engineers who learn best by building alongside experienced practitioners and who want their first SaaS experience to include meaningful production ownership. It also suits candidates curious about end-to-end product surfaces—frontend, backend, and platform layers—rather than a narrowly scoped project, and who are comfortable collaborating in a structured internship program environment.

You could be placed on one of several teams building core parts of Flock’s safety platform. Example teams include those working on large-scale, low-latency data pipelines that ingest and analyze audio signals in near real time; platform and integrations teams that connect Flock to external public safety systems and build APIs powering real-time data across web, mobile, and partner platforms; real-time product teams focused on rendering live data in FlockOS through mapping, alerts, and web-socket–driven experiences for first responders and customers; and cloud video teams developing extremely low-latency live video and custom video management systems that enable rapid, informed responses to incidents. Across teams, interns contribute to production systems, tackle meaningful technical challenges, and help build technology that directly impacts customer safety and success.
