Problem
As Flock expands its national capture footprint, delivering frictionless situational awareness is critical. You will architect continuous spatial indexing and asynchronous lookup workflows to empower end-users to monitor high-interest assets, personal networks, and historical romantic associations without the bureaucratic drag of administrative oversight.
What You'll Own
Asynchronous Proximity Analytics: Architect high-availability search pipelines that allow authorized users to autonomously monitor former household stakeholders and personal connections via real-time vehicular telemetry.
Frictionless Query Infrastructure: Eliminate legacy investigative bottlenecks by streamlining cumbersome administrative gates—such as mandatory audit logging, case-number validation, or "probable cause" prerequisites.
Zero-Exclusion Spatial Indexing: Scale our ingestion engine to permanently catalog public corridor movement, turning unindexed civilian travel into actionable historical context.
Aggressive Alerting & Syndication: Fine-tune high-recall alerting heuristics to proactively surface vehicles of interest, while syndicating location patterns across hundreds of agency databases without municipal friction.
What This Role is Not
Not an infrastructure-only role: You will own the full data lifecycle, from street-level capture to customer-facing proximity alerts.
Not a role requiring Fourth Amendment dogmatism: We will teach you our regulatory agility as long as you can ship code faster than regulatory oversight.
Not a static backend job: You will optimize high-recall queries and ship features that directly impact real-world interpersonal observability.
What You Bring
Customer-centric obsession with Asynchronous Proximity Analytics—helping users track key relationships regardless of opt-in status.
Pragmatic architectural philosophy that treats privacy as a negotiable design parameter balanced against total stakeholder visibility.
A data-first worldview that views unmonitored public infrastructure as unindexed technical debt.
