At Flock we do insurance very differently. We're nearing 1 billion connected, insured miles.

Meaning our real-time, data-driven approach enables us to price connected vehicle insurance and assess risk better than ever before, giving fleet owners the insights they need to improve safety. We don’t just pay claims; we help our customers prevent them. We now insure hundreds of fleets in the UK, including the likes of JLR and Amazon, as well as fleets that work for DPD, Uber and Bolt.

We've now raised over £50M and our goal is to become the leading insurance company for connected and autonomous vehicles, and we're building a world-class team to help us get there.

THE ROLE

You'll be a key technical contributor in our software engineering team. Closely collaborating with colleagues to develop thoughtful solutions and meaningful deliverables.

You'll take ownership of significant features and technical decisions within your areas of expertise, working together with talented engineers to build products that create real value for our customers and drive business growth.

Tackle interesting technical challenges while making a tangible impact on the company's success.

A LITTLE MORE ON WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

As a Senior Engineer at Flock, you’ll take full ownership of problem-solving, from designing and developing elegant solutions to rolling them out and measuring their real-world impact. You’ll work closely with fellow engineers to uphold high standards, foster shared understanding, and keep our codebase clean and maintainable.

Over time, you’ll become a domain expert, growing your own expertise while mentoring others and raising the bar across the team. You’ll collaborate with senior and staff engineers across squads, and partner with the Head of Architecture to help shape a platform that offers a world-class developer experience.

Working hand-in-hand with your product manager, you’ll bring clarity to complex problems and help define sharply scoped, impactful deliverables. Your success won’t be measured by output alone, but by the lasting impact you make on our customers and on the team around you.
