About the Role

You will lead the Acquisition team as an Engineering Lead, working closely with the Product Manager to own delivery, operational reliability, and developer experience. You will ship production code, provide technical coaching, and shape the team's use of AI tools to increase shipping speed without compromising quality.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team building products that directly drive Flock’s growth
• Own delivery and technical quality for the Acquisition team, working with the PM to ship features that 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
• Shape how the team works, not just what it builds
• Drive improvements to developer experience, CI/CD, observability and release practices
• Make pragmatic trade-offs that balance reliability, performance and cost across AWS services
• Decide how the team uses AI, from coding assistants to agent workflows in review and release
• Own delivery and technical direction for the Acquisition team, co-leading with the PM to ship products that directly drive growth
• Integrate with and contribute to the development of RESTful APIs exposed via API Gateway
• Use AWS experience (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch) to support and extend the Acquisition team’s services and pipelines
• Work with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or CDK for provisioning and managing cloud resources
• Co-own the team’s success with the PM, jointly leading projects from scoping and planning through to delivery and measuring impact
• Give engineers the space and ownership to lead projects themselves, asking the right questions to challenge their thinking and help them land on the right solution
• Deliver high-quality, well-tested code and act as a force-multiplier, raising standards through code reviews, pairing and design discussions
• Champion practical testing, type-safe APIs and pragmatic patterns that shape long-term technical direction across the team
• Set the example on AI-assisted development and coach engineers on where it genuinely speeds the team up and where human judgement needs to stay in the loop
• Bring clarity to complex problems and help define sharply scoped, impactful deliverables
• Ensure success is measured by the output, quality and growth of the whole team

Requirements

• Proven ability to co-lead a team alongside a PM, taking joint ownership of delivery, quality and outcomes
• 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
• Confident using AI development tools every day, with experience of helping a team adopt them without letting quality slip
• Experience aligning technical direction beyond your immediate team, working with senior stakeholders and other leads to shape how engineering works at a broader level
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or CDK, with a track record of improving operational resilience through observability, runbooks and automated recovery
• Practical experience designing event-driven, distributed systems and navigating the trade-offs that come with eventual consistency at scale
• Background in a fast-moving, product-led environment where commercial impact drives decisions and adapting quickly is part of the job
• A track record of creating the conditions for engineers to step up, not just mentoring but actively giving ownership and space to grow
