About SimpliSafe

At SimpliSafe, we are at the forefront of high-tech home security, driven by our mission to safeguard every home. We have cultivated a culture that not only cherishes the safety of our clients but also values the career development of our team members. In our no-ego environment, collaboration and innovation thrive, creating ample opportunities for those ready to face new challenges and make a significant impact on the lives we protect. We don’t just want you to work here; we want you to flourish.

Our hybrid work model allows our teams to balance office and home working seamlessly. Expect to collaborate in our state-of-the-art Boston office on two core days—typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday—while enjoying the flexibility to choose your workspace for the remaining days. This approach allows us to harness the benefits of both environments to optimize productivity.

Why We Are Hiring

We are expanding our Tools and Automation organization, specifically within the Test Platform Services (TPS) team. TPS is responsible for building and managing the platforms and automation that validate the comprehensive SimpliSafe ecosystem, which includes connected cameras, sensors, base stations, firmware, cloud services, monitoring workflows, and mobile applications.

Our goal is to enable scalable, production-like validation across hardware, firmware, and distributed software systems. This ensures our devices perform accurately in real-world conditions and that essential customer journeys operate reliably before they are deployed to production.

We are on the lookout for a Software Engineer who can lead the technical vision for TPS while managing a team of engineers. This position merges hands-on architectural responsibilities with leadership and mentorship, offering a unique opportunity for those looking to make a significant impact.

This role is highly collaborative, requiring close partnerships with Infrastructure, Backend, Firmware, and Monitoring teams to ensure our validation platforms evolve in line with product and system complexity. It’s perfect for a leader who wishes to stay technically involved while shaping a high-performing engineering team dedicated to validating complex, distributed systems at scale.

Your Responsibilities

  • Establish and implement the long-term architectural vision for scalable validation platforms, with a focus on automation, performance, and resilience testing capabilities.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Infrastructure, Backend, Firmware, Monitoring, and Product teams to ensure alignment of validation systems with product architecture, roadmaps, and business objectives.
  • Guarantee that virtual devices and simulation systems accurately represent real-world hardware behavior, minimizing discrepancies between physical and virtual environments.
