SimpliSafe • Boston, MA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.
Why are we hiring?
Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.
What You’ll Do
As Senior Manager, Product Security, you will be the driving force behind embedding security into every product and service we release. Reporting directly to the CISO, you will lead a team of passionate security engineers who partner with Software Engineering, Hardware, Cloud, and Product Management to ensure that the devices and services protecting our customers’ homes are also protected themselves.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who wants to own product security end-to-end—from threat modeling and secure design through launch and beyond. You’ll help set the direction for how SimpliSafe builds security into our DNA, not as an afterthought, but as a core feature of everything we create.
