🚀 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.
Our product vision goes much further and is to empower our customers with autonomous intelligence at speed and scale. This role is a key part of achieving this vision to convert data into actionable intelligence.
We believe we are setting the standard for animal welfare and smart farming - and we’re just getting started.
We are a Series A ready start-up with plenty of room for progression and making direct impact for our customers.
🏠 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 - We approach our work with care, artistry, and genuine empathy for each other and our users. We lead with positivity and passion.
💪🏼 Tenacious Innovator - Innovation drives us. We trust ourselves, keep learning, and uncover bold solutions that redefine what’s possible in poultry farming.
🧤 Hand in Glove - One mission, one team. We grow together with patience, trust, and transparency, amplifying each other’s strengths to revolutionise farming.
🏗️ 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.
