About the role
<p><strong>About Alarm.com</strong></p> <p>Alarm.com provides the leading cloud platform for smart security and IoT, powering millions of home and business experiences. Our systems integrate devices, cloud services, APIs, and event-driven workflows into a unified ecosystem used by internal teams and external partners around the world.</p> <p><strong>About the Team</strong></p> <p>This role sits at the intersection of two strategically important areas of Alarm.com’s engineering organization: <strong>Strategic Partner eXcellence (SPX) </strong>and <strong>Device Platform</strong>.</p> <p><strong>SPX </strong>helps drive the technical and operational success of Alarm.com’s highest-value SaaS partnerships. The team supports complex partner launches, builds shared partner-facing platform capabilities, and establishes repeatable onboarding, operational readiness, and reliability patterns that can scale across future integrations.</p> <p><strong>Device Platform </strong>builds and evolves foundational platform capabilities used across Alarm.com’s connected device ecosystem. This includes shared domains such as Device APIs and Device Lifecycle Management, as well as broader platform modernization efforts that move device-oriented systems toward clearer domain ownership, API-first design, event-driven architectures, and more independently deployable services.</p> <p>This role will initially lead two closely aligned delivery teams—one focused on SPX and one focused on Device Platform—together comprising approximately 6–8 software engineers. Each team has its own domain focus, roadmap, and stakeholder set, while also collaborating heavily on shared platform capabilities, operational expectations, and cross-team delivery. As the charter grows, these teams are expected to evolve in structure and scope over time.</p> <p><strong>The Role</strong></p> <p>We are hiring a Senior Software Engineering Manager to lead a broad portfolio of engineering work spanning strategic partner platform capabilities and shared device platform domains.</p> <p>This is a senior-level engineering leadership role with broad scope across two distinct but highly connected areas of responsibility. You will balance parallel workstreams across partner-facing platform delivery and internal shared-platform evolution, helping align priorities, staffing, execution, and technical direction across adjacent domains.</p> <p>You will manage software engineers across a varied experience spectrum. Success in this role requires strong people leadership, technical fluency, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to operate effectively across ambiguity. You will work closely with Architects, Technical Program Managers, Product Managers, QE, Ops, and peer engineering leaders to deliver reliable
