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 - 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.
