A BIT ABOUT FLOCK
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.

  • Measure contributions beyond delivery. Establish and maintain engineering as a vanguard in innovation and impact within the broader company.
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration, ensuring seamless integration between engineering, product, and data.
  • Create diverse and inclusive team structures to support both short and long term needs of the business.
  • Set expectations on how innovation, impact and maintainability of our tech stack should be balanced. Take action to ensure those expectations are met.
  • Develop a healthy feedback culture, ensuring continuous learning and improvement.
  • Use data and evidence to solve scaling challenges, from infrastructure to team dynamics.
  • Represent engineering at the leadership level, ensuring technical insights shape company strategy.
