Job description
- Lead technical discovery conversations and manage customer software integrations end-to-end from initial scoping through deployment.
- Configure, test, and maintain software tools and integrations that connect Flock technology with customer applications and networks.
- Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues involving REST APIs, networking configurations, authentication methods, and data formats.

- This isn't an isolated sales engineering position, your primary focus is driving technical implementation and software execution rather than top-of-funnel deal closing.
Requirements
- Professional software engineering experience using languages such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript.
- Practical proficiency with SQL database querying, REST API structures, authentication mechanisms, and common data formats including JSON, XML, and CSV.
- Working knowledge of core networking concepts, including VPNs, firewalls, IP allowlisting, and SSL/TLS.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills to explain technical requirements to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability and willingness to travel between 25% and 50% for customer deployments and onsite discovery.
- Prior experience in customer-facing engineering roles, cloud platforms, or containerization technologies is a plus.
