Who is Flock?

Every community deserves to be safe, it’s a fundamental right. Our mission is simple - to build technology that reduces crime and protects privacy. Flock partners with cities, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods to help protect where people live, work, and play. Last year, Flock technology supported over 1 million criminal investigations. We've also helped solve approximately 20% of reported crimes in areas where we're deployed, and have played a role in locating more than 10,000 missing people. We are a high-performance team united by urgency, ownership, and a shared commitment to meaningful impact. The work is fast-paced and the expectations are high. We push beyond perceived limits, support each other, and hold ourselves accountable to delivering results that matter. With over $1B in funding and an $8.3B valuation, we are scaling with intention and investing in the people who will help us build what others said could not be done. At Flock, you will find the opportunity to grow quickly, take on real responsibility, and contribute to something bigger than yourself.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior GRC Engineer to build and scale an engineering-driven, automation-first, and AI-enabled approach to Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). This role goes far beyond traditional GRC. You will design and implement intelligent, automated systems that integrate directly into our engineering and cloud environments—transforming compliance from a manual, point-in-time exercise into a continuous, real-time capability. You will leverage automation, data pipelines, and emerging AI/LLM capabilities to reduce manual effort, improve signal quality, and enable proactive risk management. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of security engineering, compliance, and data—helping evolve GRC into a measurable, scalable, and product-aligned function.
