Staff Software Engineer

A Staff SE at Alarm.com is a technical leader whose impact is unmistakably felt beyond their immediate scope.

The clearest signal is multiplier impact: a Staff SE's technical contributions, reusable patterns, and engineering judgment make the teams and systems around them measurably better.

They drive initiatives of feature-team-level scope, are capable of seeing current problems and upcoming architectural improvements, and drive toward solutions with minimal management support, and are a trusted voice in cross-team technical conversations.

The Staff SE operates via two complementary modes:

— owning a technology, framework, or component that a meaningful number of other engineers build on, evangelizing it, and making it easy to use and extend; or

— being responsible for the technical direction of a broad set of code and sub-teams, setting a technical roadmap, identifying gaps, and making other engineers more efficient and productive through their projects, designs, and guidance.

Our total rewards package is designed to support you holistically—in your health, your finances, and your life outside of work. The package includes medical plans with company subsidies, a Health Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution, and a 401(k) with an employer match. We encourage a healthy work-life balance with paid vacation that increases with tenure, paid holidays, wellness time, and paid maternity and bonding leave. To complete the package, we also provide company-paid disability and life insurance, all within a collaborative and casual work environment.

We are hiring a to serve as a technical multiplier across the SPX and Device Platform domains.

At Alarm.com, the Staff SE carries a distinct mandate: to make the engineers and systems around them measurably better.

The Staff SE owns technically complex, high-visibility initiatives end-to-end, shapes architectural direction across domain boundaries, builds reusable frameworks and patterns that other teams depend on, and helps the organization move faster with more consistency and less rework.

Projects spearheaded by a Staff SE carry feature-team-level scope — visible work spanning the organization, often requiring cross-team collaboration and sustained technical leadership.

The Staff SE anticipates medium-term technical problems 12+ months out and works proactively to prevent them from becoming delivery or reliability issues.

They are active participants in engineering leadership initiatives — tech councils, working groups, cross-team design forums — not passive consumers of information.
