Within our Tools and Automation organization, the Test Platform Services (TPS) team builds and operates the platforms and automation that validate SimpliSafe’s end-to-end ecosystem — spanning the full product stack: connected cameras and sensors, base stations, firmware, cloud services, monitoring workflows, and mobile applications. We enable scalable, production-like validation across hardware, firmware, and distributed software systems to ensure our devices behave correctly in real-world conditions and that critical customer journeys function reliably before reaching production. We are seeking a Software Engineer to lead TPS’s technical vision while leading a team of engineers. This role combines hands-on architectural ownership with people leadership, execution accountability, and technical mentorship.
Job Responsibility:
Establish and execute the long-term architectural vision for scalable validation platforms, including automation, performance, and resilience testing capabilities
Partner cross-functionally with Infrastructure, Backend, Firmware, Monitoring, and Product teams to align validation systems with product architecture, roadmaps, and business goals
Ensure virtual devices and simulation systems accurately reflect real-world hardware behavior, eliminating drift between physical and virtual environments
Build and operate validation platforms that are reliable, observable, cost-efficient, and trusted, with clear metrics to monitor platform health and validation effectiveness
Drive continuous performance, scalability, and resilience analysis, proactively identifying system bottlenecks and leveraging data-driven and AI-assisted approaches to improve validation and code quality
Grow and lead a high-performing TPS team, establishing engineering standards, embedding shift-left validation practices, and fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
Requirements:
8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and scaling distributed, cloud-native systems, with end-to-end ownership across the software lifecycle
Deep expertise in scalability, reliability, observability, and production-grade system architecture
Strong hands-on engineering capability and experience operating infrastructure in AWS (Kubernetes/EKS preferred)
Experience building and operating internal platforms or shared engineering systems used across multiple teams
Proven experience leading and developing engineers in a player/coach or technical leadership capacity
Nice to have:
Experience with device simulation, embedded systems, firmware-cloud integration, or IoT environments
Experience designing validation, orchestration, performance, load, or resilience testing systems
Demonstrated ability to balance long-term architectural vision with pragmatic execution
Experience influencing cross-functional engineering strategy in a high-growth or complex distributed systems environment
What we offer:
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 SimpliSafers 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
