Are you excited to build interfaces that control the physical world around you? Do you love the idea of crafting experiences used by millions of customers all over the world? Are you a tireless customer advocate?
If the above holds true for you, then we would love to talk to you! Alarm.com is looking for a user-centric Software Engineer to focus on smart home web applications. We craft customer experiences that make interacting with Internet of Things (IoT) smart home and security devices a breeze!
You will contribute to significant projects across our product line, seeing development through from architectural design to prototyping and development. One of the many challenges you will face is taking nuanced technological requirements and working alongside Product Managers, UX Designers, Quality Engineers, and other Software Engineers to transform them into extensible, clean code for user-friendly designs. Our customers expect top-notch reliability, speed, and ease of use, and it is up to our team to deliver exceptional home security and automation experiences.
Your work will provide you the opportunity to showcase creative problem solving, passion for learning, and motivation for improvement. You must be able to communicate effectively and blend multiple business needs in your work. Our platform supports several business units, so there are always multiple perspectives to consider. We also work at scale – we have millions of customers and millions of devices sending us data all the time.
