Emerging Talent

We are seeking multiple Interns for Summer 2026! These are paid, in-person, 12 week internships based out of Atlanta, GA. Internship dates are May 18 - Aug 7, 2026.

At Flock, we believe emerging talent is the future of innovation. Our Emerging Talent Program gives early-career professionals the opportunity to make an immediate impact on real-world challenges while learning in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You’ll work alongside experienced mentors, build skills that accelerate your career, and contribute directly to our mission of creating safer, thriving communities. From day one, you’re treated like a full-time employee, with real projects, real responsibility, and real impact.

The Opportunity

Flock Safety is seeking Device Software Interns to join our mission of eliminating crime and fostering safer communities. In this role, you will contribute directly to the "brains" of our solar-powered devices—the edge-computing hardware responsible for capturing and processing millions of images daily.

Our Device Software organization acts as the critical bridge between physical hardware and the cloud. As an intern, you will be embedded within one of our core engineering teams, working on production code and solving complex technical challenges that have an immediate, real-world impact on public safety. Whether your interest lies in low-level firmware, specialized Android development, or the infrastructure that keeps a massive fleet alive, you will gain hands-on experience in a high-growth engineering environment.

Our Teams

When you apply for a Device Software internship, you will be considered for a role within one of the following specialized groups:

• Firmware & Embedded: Where software meets hardware. You will assist in developing MCU firmware (bare-metal and RTOS) and help manage the power systems and sensors that keep our devices operational in diverse environmental conditions.

The Skillset

We are looking for students who are technically curious and eager to work at the intersection of hardware and software.

Core Requirements:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Proficiency in at least one core language relevant to our stack (C/C++, Kotlin, Java, or Python).

• A desire to work within Linux environments, understand system internals, and solve logic-heavy problems.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to adapt quickly to a large, existing codebase.

Preferred Experience:

• Academic or personal projects involving Microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, ESP32) or Android SDK.

• Familiarity with version control (Git) and debugging tools (adb, GDB, or logic analyzers).

• A fundamental understanding of networking protocols or cloud-to-device communication.

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.

Compensation

In this role, you’ll receive an hourly rate of $30-35/hr. Interns are expected to work a full 40-hour week during the duration of their internship.

Location

This role is based in Atlanta, GA, where you’ll join our dynamic team to collaborate in person and drive innovation. Candidates must reside in or relocate to Atlanta, GA, for this position.
