About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work with a small team of full-stack developers that work on all server-side aspects of HVAC home automation and security. Our mandate is very broad and includes but not limited to processing HVAC-related events, provisioning equipment, monitoring alerts, testing-automation and integrating a wide and diverse set of devices with the Alarm.com connected ecosystem.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work across a variety of technical areas. Typical projects will involve diverse technologies and skills, and require close collaboration with device engineers, business partners, and other engineering teams.

This position is ideal for the candidate who seeks a small, friendly company culture where one can work closely with smart and highly productive people across a very interesting spectrum of wireless, software, and hardware/device technologies to develop outstanding consumer products.
