More than 7.6+ million home and business owners depend on our solutions every day to make their properties safer, smarter, and more efficient. We’re innovating new technologies in rapidly evolving spaces including AI, video analytics, facial recognition, machine learning, energy analytics, and more. 

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader on our mobile team, building and shaping the Alarm.com Android application used by millions of customers every day to secure and manage their homes and businesses. Our mobile team works on the full spectrum of features including real-time video streaming, IoT device controls, security system management, and smart home automation. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will drive the design and implementation of complex technical solutions, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to architectural decisions that impact our mobile platform at scale. Typical projects will involve diverse technologies like Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android media frameworks for video streaming, and backend API integrations. Exceptional problem-solving skills, the ability to lead technical discussions, and a track record of delivering impactful, production-quality software are must-have attributes.
