Job Description
About the Role
Flow is seeking an experienced Lead IT Engineer — Properties & Hospitality to own the systems configuration, platform integration, and commissioning layer across its growing residential and hospitality portfolio. This role operates at the software and systems level — configuring platforms, integrating systems, validating performance, and ensuring every technology layer at a Flow property functions as intended.
This role works closely and continuously with the Sr. IT Field Technician — together they cover the full scope of property technology at Flow. While the Sr. IT Field Technician focuses on the physical layer (cabling, hardware installation, and low-voltage infrastructure), this role focuses on making those systems work: programming, configuration, integration, and ongoing platform support. The two roles are deeply interdependent and will be on-site together across deployments, troubleshooting, and new property buildouts. Both report directly to the Head of IT.
This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep platform expertise, strong independent judgment, and the ability to manage multiple active projects across a growing property portfolio with minimal supervision.

Work alongside the Sr. IT Field Technician on camera deployments — while they handle mounting and cabling, configure the VMS, program recording schedules, motion detection rules, and alert configurations
-
Map and name all cameras within the VMS following Flow's naming conventions; maintain accurate camera inventories across the portfolio
-
Integrate VMS with access control platforms where applicable — door event triggers, alarm linkages, and unified monitoring views

Manage credential lifecycle across the portfolio — issuance, modification, suspension, and removal for residents, staff, and vendors
-
Program and commission intercom and visitor management systems — tenant directory configuration, video intercom setup, and remote access provisioning
-
Configure integrations between access control platforms and property management systems — automated credential sync,move-in/move-out workflows, and visitor management
-
Diagnose and resolve access control software issues and credential conflicts; engage the Sr. IT Field Technician on door hardware or wiring faults
-
Conduct periodic access audits across the portfolio — identify orphaned credentials, expired access groups, and policy violations; remediate and report to the Head of IT

Diagnose and resolve AV software and configuration issues; coordinate with the Sr. IT Field Technician on hardware-related faults
-
Administer and support property management system platforms at applicable hospitality properties — user account management, system configuration, and day-to-day operational support for property staff
-
Configure and maintain integrations between the PMS and other property systems — access control credential sync, guest experience platform connections, and reporting integrations
-
Deploy and configure guest experience platforms — onboarding setup, workflow configuration, staff training, and integration validation
-
Support elevator and building automation system integrations — manage API connectivity, validate access control handoffs, and coordinate with vendors on software-level issues
-
Serve as the primary IT systems resource for property operations staff — resolving hospitality platform issues, training new staff on systems, and escalating to the Head of IT when needed
-
Stay current on hospitality technology developments relevant to Flow's portfolio; surface operational issues and improvement opportunities to the Head of IT
-
Work closely with the Sr. IT Field Technician across all new property deployments — while they lead physical infrastructure buildout, drive systems configuration, platform setup, and integration work in parallel
-
Conduct systems-layer due diligence at new properties — audit existing platform configurations, document software versions and licensing, and identify gaps against Flow's standard
-
Ensure all platforms are fully configured, integrated, and validated before any new property goes live; coordinate directly with the Sr. IT Field Technician to align timing across physical and systems workstreams
-
Produce complete systems documentation at go-live — platform configurations, integration maps, credential structures, and user access inventories for every new property
- Manage device enrollment and MDM policy application for property staff endpoints — ensuring all devices meet Flow's configuration baseline at onboarding
-
Administer Google Workspace accounts for property staff — provisioning, group membership, and access revocation in coordination with HR and the Head of IT
