Senior Software Engineer, Frontend

What You'll Own

• Lead the architectural evolution and frontend execution for core Search features across a React, TypeScript, and Node web stack.
• Partner closely with product, design, and backend engineering peers to translate user research and design mocks into performant user experiences.
• Build complex map-based data visualizations and geospatial interfaces to help users navigate high-density location data effortlessly.
• Celebrate frontend engineering standards, conduct thorough code reviews, and elevate technical execution across the Search engineering team.
• Monitor and optimize client-side performance, state management, and data retrieval for high-traffic, data-heavy web applications.

What This Role is Not

• A backend-heavy or infrastructure-focused engineering role.
• A purely visual design or prototyping job.
• An isolated contribution role.

What You Bring

• Mastery of modern frontend web technologies, application design patterns, and user interface development using React and TypeScript.
• Experience building map-based data visualizations using mapping libraries such as Mapbox or the Google Maps API.
• Fullstack working context with Node.js web services and modern API design concepts like REST, GraphQL, or gRPC.
• Practical understanding of backend microservice interaction patterns and relational databases like PostgreSQL to collaborate effectively with backend peers.
• Resourceful problem-solving skills in ambiguous technical environments with a track record of continuous learning.
• Familiarity with AWS managed services or frontend performance optimization for high-traffic applications is a plus.

Compensation

Starting salary between $170,000 and $190,000, including Flock Stock Options. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education/training, as well as market indicators. Your recruiter will discuss this in depth with you during our first chat.

About the Role

The Problem Search is one of the most critical tools at Flock, serving as the daily interface our customers depend on to follow leads, identify vehicles, and resolve cases faster. As our user base scales and product requirements evolve, delivering an intuitive, performant search interface requires deep frontend technical leadership and seamless fullstack context.

Benefits

Every community deserves to be safe. Flock builds the technology that makes that real: last year we supported over 1 million criminal investigations and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people. We're 1,700 people building the impossible with over $1B in funding, and the expectations are high on purpose.

Schedule

We prioritize candidates in Atlanta and Boston. Hub-based roles mean real in-person time with your coworkers. Remote roles exist, and when a posting is open to remote work, it says so.
