Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Lead Threat Hunter role sits at the intersection of SaaS security operations and a complex, connected product footprint. Flock Safety describes a platform that blends cloud infrastructure with a large deployed hardware network, which creates a threat surface that looks different from a pure software-only SaaS. For security professionals tracking where the market is heading, that mix of SaaS delivery, real time data, and privacy considerations is a notable operating environment.
From a SaaS career standpoint, the mandate to define and mature an Adversary Pursuit program signals work that goes beyond case handling into capability building. Owning hunt methodology, detection coverage, and readiness metrics translates well across modern SaaS organizations that rely on strong telemetry, repeatable processes, and clear measurement. Collaboration with offensive security, engineering, and product security also reflects how mature SaaS companies increasingly run security as a cross-functional system rather than a silo.
This position tends to fit practitioners who want to be the analytic lead and set direction, while still staying close to investigations and tooling. It suits someone comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on execution, and who is motivated by environments where cloud, endpoints, and embedded devices all matter to detection and response outcomes.

Job Description
Who is Flock?
Flock Safety is the leading safety technology platform, helping communities thrive by taking a proactive approach to crime prevention and security. Our hardware and software suite connects cities, law enforcement, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods in a nationwide public-private safety network. Trusted by over 5,000 communities, 4,500 law enforcement agencies, and 1,000 businesses, Flock delivers real-time intelligence while prioritizing privacy and responsible innovation.
We’re a high-performance, low-ego team driven by urgency, collaboration, and bold thinking. Working at Flock means tackling big challenges, moving fast, and continuously improving. It’s intense but deeply rewarding for those who want to make an impact.
With nearly $700M in venture funding and a $7.5B valuation, we’re scaling intentionally and seeking top talent to help build the impossible. If you value teamwork, ownership, and solving tough problems, Flock could be the place for you.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Lead, Threat Hunter. As someone with over 10 years of cybersecurity experience, at least 5 of those years in the trenches focused on DFIR/Threat Hunts, you will focus on defining and maturing the Adversary Pursuit program. As the function’s analytic lead, you will direct and manage threat hunts, technical table top exercise development, and tactical threat intelligence. You’ll identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement based on findings from these areas. You’ll work closely with our Offensive Security team to ensure a high level of efficacy in our ability to detect threats, and assist the Security Operations team with improvements to our response capabilities.
This is a critical role that will be responsible for developing new methods to search and detect threats across a rapidly scaling, high-value public-private safety network. You will be responsible for defining and executing hunts, determining and prioritizing visibility and detection gaps, and when necessary, assisting with response operations across thousands of deployed hardware devices, extensive cloud infrastructure, and core business applications. You will help with the creation of technical exercises against Flock’s full technology stack (hardware, software, cloud, network) to help increase preparedness and readiness. This role reports to the Director, Incident Response and Adversary Pursuit.
Success in this role will be measured by the development and execution of our threat hunt capabilities, ability and effectiveness to detect prioritized threats, and improved readiness to respond (through metrics such as MTTD).
