Job Description

About the Role

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 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 and Wednesday, to work together in person, and teams can choose 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.

Document the systems you are building to ensure they can be maintained by the next generation of developers.
Serve as an on-call first responder for software owned by your team.

Requirements

Extensive experience designing and implementing features, including designing and building APIs for others to consume.
Experience with at least 2 major programming languages (C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C++, Go, Python, etc.).
A strong understanding of the SOLID principles.
Experience building and running cloud-based microservices and distributed systems according to industry best practices.
Experience using AWS.
Familiarity with the Agile Scrum process.
Passion, curiosity and a desire to continuously learn and grow.

Nice to Have

Extensive professional experience in any of the major programming languages from above.
Experience with lean/agile software development principles and practices, including continuous integration & delivery, test automation, etc.

Qualifications

Benefits & Perks

A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment where you can build, grow and thrive.
A comprehensive total rewards package that supports your wellness and provides security for employees and their families.
Free SimpliSafe system and professional monitoring for your home.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that bring people together, give opportunities to network, mentor and develop, and advocate for change.
