Job Description

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
