About the role

  • Engineering Lead for Flock's Acquisition team, owning delivery, developer experience, and technical coaching. Collaborate with PM to shape and ship impactful products.

Responsibilities

  • Engineering Lead for the Acquisition team.
  • Work closely with the PM to lead the team toward its goals, owning delivery, operational reliability and developer experience.
  • Ship production code and provide technical coaching and leadership to the engineers around you, not line management.
  • Lead a team building products that directly drive Flock's growth.
  • Own delivery and technical quality for the Acquisition team, working hand in hand with the PM to ship features that directly impact how fleets find and choose Flock.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested TypeScript and own end-to-end delivery to production.
  • Partner with product to drive impact.
  • Work closely with the PM, the Engineering Leadership Team and stakeholders to translate business goals into clear technical scope, success metrics and delivery plans.
  • Grow engineers around you.
  • Lead by example through code, design discussions and pairing.
  • Coach and mentor engineers across the team to raise standards and share ownership of technical direction.
  • Drive improvements to developer experience, CI/CD, observability and release practices that make the whole team faster and more confident.
  • Make pragmatic trade-offs that balance reliability, performance and cost across AWS services.

Requirements

  • Proven ability to co-lead a team alongside a PM, taking joint ownership of delivery, quality and outcomes, not just your own output.
  • Strong hands-on engineering ability; comfortable shipping high-quality, well-tested TypeScript in production and holding the team to the same standard.
  • Significant experience with AWS and modern serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch) or other cloud platforms.
  • A pragmatic approach to technical decisions, balancing reliability, observability, performance and cost, and bringing engineers along on the reasoning.
  • Track record of raising engineering standards as a force-multiplier, through code reviews, pairing, design discussions and shaping long-term technical direction.
  • Strong communication skills; able to represent the team upwards and translate business goals into clear technical scope and delivery plans.
  • Experience improving developer experience, CI/CD, release practices and delivery cadence across a team.
