We're FLOX, The Healthy Chicken Company – using advanced Artificial Intelligence to bring better welfare, productivity and sustainability to the broiler supply chain. Broilers are chickens raised for meat; and we'll rear up to 1.8 trillion in the next few decades. While bird welfare is at the heart of what we do, our tech also enables increased productivity and profitability for farmers (know in the industry as 'performance'), more transparency and accountability across the full supply chain (including for you – the consumer), and reduced environmental impact. A classic win-win-win-win, as they say. Here's how the FLOX Fix works: Off-the-shelf hardware (cameras & sensors) + advanced AI (machine vision and learning) + 24/7 alerts and analytics = better welfare and performance. Since founding in 2018, we've grown to a team of 14 across offices in London, the SW of England, and Poland. Our core product is operational in 10 commercial sheds, and we count the UK's largest poultry producer as a client. FLOX is backed by some of the best in the business – funded by SpeedInvest (EU), Acequia Capital (US), & AI Seed Fund (UK) & the European Space Agency. Our founding team has built, scaled and sold 8 poultry and AI companies between them. In short, we're ready to take our tech to sheds everywhere and get on with doing the important work of improving the lives of the chickens we eat. Demand for poultry isn't going anywhere – and neither are we! We're also recruiting fresh farmers for our EarlyBird programme – so get in touch if you'd like to be an early adopter of FLOX!

🚀 The Mission
At FLOX, we believe smarter farms lead to thriving chickens and healthier lives. Our mission is simple: healthier chickens benefit everyone. That’s why we built FLOX360, a system that uses Computer Vision, smart sensors, and real-time insights to transform poultry farming. By helping farmers improve welfare and efficiency, FLOX360 creates a win-win for birds, farmers, the environment, and people everywhere. Today, we’re watching 60 million chickens a year.
We believe we are setting the standard for animal welfare and smart farming - and we’re just getting started.
🏠 The People
We’re a diverse team of engineers and entrepreneurs, representing over 13 nationalities and all walks of life - even a few vegetarians! We are brought together by a shared passion for meaningful impact. Our culture is grounded in values we live every day:
🧙🏽 Empathetic Artisan
💪🏼 Tenacious Innovator
🧤 Hand in Glove
🏗️ Worth Building - Worth celebrating.
We dedicate ourselves to work that matters, taking pride in creating disruptive solutions our users can’t live without.
This is an exciting moment of growth for FLOX - and we’re looking for ambitious, humble, and purpose-driven people to join us in building a future of smarter farms, thriving chickens, and healthier lives.
🎒 The role
We are seeking a Senior Data Platform Engineer to play a key individual-contributor role in shaping and scaling FLOX’s data platform, based in London with hybrid working. This is a senior IC position, reporting to our engineering director with high technical ownership and autonomy, responsible for designing, building, and operating the core data systems that power FLOX’s AI and analytics products. You will work closely with platform engineers, CV/ML engineers influencing platform architecture and engineering standards. We are looking for someone experienced in analytics-heavy or complex data domains who is motivated to turn raw, multimodal data into trusted, decision-ready intelligence for customers, at speed and scale.
This role is central to FLOX’s mission of converting data into actionable intelligence and has a direct impact on how our platform supports customer decision-making as the company scales towards a Series A milestone and beyond.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineering Excellence & Transformational Value:
Design, build, and operate the core data platform that reliably transforms high-volume farm data into decision-ready datasets powering FLOX’s AI and analytics products.
Production-Grade Application Deployment:
Build and maintain scalable, highly available data pipelines and services with strong data quality, observability, and operational reliability.
Best-in-Class Data Engineering:
Design and optimise batch and streaming data pipelines across cloud data platforms (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, or similar), balancing performance, cost, and long-term maintainability.
Advanced Data Modelling (Ontology & Knowledge Graphs):
Model biological, environmental, and operational farm data using practical animal-science and farming context to enrich raw data and materially improve the accuracy and explainability of FLOX’s AI products.
Data Platform Expertise & Optimisation:
Influence platform architecture and engineering standards through hands-on technical leadership, design reviews, and close collaboration with product and engineering leadership.
