Field Deployment Specialist

Who is Flock?

Every community deserves to be safe, it's a fundamental right. Our mission is simple - to build technology that reduces crime and protects privacy. Flock partners with cities, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods to help protect where people live, work, and play. Last year, Flock technology supported over 1 million criminal investigations, helped solve approximately 20% of reported crimes in areas where it is deployed, and played a role in locating more than 10,000 missing people.

We are a high-performance team united by urgency, ownership, and a shared commitment to meaningful impact. The work is fast-paced and the expectations are high. We push beyond perceived limits, support each other, and hold ourselves accountable to delivering results that matter.

With over $1B in funding and an $8.3B valuation, we are scaling with intention and investing in the people who will help us build what others said could not be done. At Flock, you will find the opportunity to grow quickly, take on real responsibility, and contribute to something bigger than yourself.

Pay: $60,000 - 85,000/year + Overtime + Stock Options
Travel:

This role requires up to 100% travel (most weekends home) across the United States. Candidates must be comfortable being on the road for extended periods and have the ability to independently book and manage all aspects of travel, including flights, accommodations, ground transportation, and itineraries. You must be 21+ in order to rent a vehicle from preferred providers.

The Role

Flock Safety is seeking a Field Deployment Specialist to support the nationwide deployment of our Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program. This is a highly travel-intensive, field-based role focused on installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting DFR systems across the U.S. You will work closely with internal teams and public safety customers to ensure successful, consistent deployments at scale.

This is not a drone pilot role. This position is focused on infrastructure deployment, installation, and system support rather than operating drones. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable operating independently in dynamic field environments.

What You'll Do

• Travel to customer sites (up to 100%) to install, maintain, and support DFR systems
• Conduct site assessments to confirm power, mounting, connectivity, and access requirements
• Install and configure hardware including cameras, drone docks, and supporting infrastructure
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, and network connectivity issues in the field
• Complete installation documentation, including photos, notes, and service records
• Work with internal teams to resolve issues and improve field operations
• Communicate effectively with customers during installation and support activities
• Ensure all work is completed in accordance with safety standards and applicable codes

What We're Looking For

• Experience with drone systems, surveillance technology, or public safety environments
• Experience in field-based work, such as construction, low-voltage installation, telecommunications, or similar technical environments
• FAA Part 107 Certification or willingness to obtain within 45 days of hire
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel extensively, including possession of acceptable identification for TSA air travel (e.g., REAL ID or passport)
• Familiarity with MacOS, Windows, or Android
• Experience in a customer-facing field service role
• Basic understanding of networking, electrical systems, and mechanical assembly
• Ability to work independently or in small groups while managing tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Strong problem-solving and organizational skills
• Comfortable working outdoors and at elevated heights (ladders, lifts, rooftops)
• Ability to lift and carry equipment (75+ lbs)
• Live within 60 miles of a major airport
• Associate and/or bachelor degree preferred

Feeling uneasy that you haven't ticked every box? That's okay; we've felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day.
