Job Description
This role sits at the intersection of two strategically important areas of Alarm.com's engineering organization: Strategic Partner eXcellence (SPX) Dev and ice Platform .
Key Responsibilities
- We are hiring a Software Engineer II to contribute to the SPX and Device Platform domains as a capable, independent individual contributor.
- At Alarm.com, the SE II carries a clear mandate: independently complete technical tasks with good quality, take meaningful ownership of their work, and grow steadily toward leading small projects end-to-end. This is a hands-on engineering role. The SE II writes production code, participates in design and code reviews, contributes to project delivery, and develops the technical and process fluency needed to operate with increasing autonomy.
- Projects span device APIs, event pipelines, device lifecycle management, and partner-facing platform capabilities. The SE II is expected to complete assigned work with high-level direction, seek out the information they need to succeed, and communicate proactively about progress and blockers.
- Success in this role requires solid programming fundamentals, growing familiarity with Alarm.com's architecture and processes, and the professional communication skills to collaborate effectively across engineering, QE, PM, and operations. This is a growth role — the right person will be on a clear trajectory toward Senior SE, demonstrating increasing independence, ownership, and technical judgment over time.
- What You'll Do
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 2–3 years of backend software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of independent task completion and growing project ownership.
- Solid programming fundamentals: ability to independently complete a variety of backend engineering tasks with good quality, debug effectively, and write maintainable code.
- Working knowledge of backend platform concepts: RESTful APIs, basic distributed systems patterns, and event-driven or asynchronous processing.
- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of assigned work end-to-end — from design through delivery — with proactive communication about progress and blockers.
- Familiarity with software development processes: design/spec, implementation, code review, testing, and release.
- Clear, positive buy-in toward AI-assisted development as an expected part of modern engineering work.
- Practical familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows — including the ability to use AI effectively for implementation, debugging, and documentation while maintaining validation rigor.
- Experience with .NET/C# and SQL Server; this is the foundation of Alarm.com's backend stack, though equivalent depth in similar ecosystems may translate well.
- Exposure to event-driven architectures, message queues, or streaming systems.
- Experience contributing to partner-facing APIs, integration-heavy backend systems, or shared platform components.
- Familiarity with device-oriented systems, IoT platforms, or integration-heavy backend architectures.
- Experience with observability basics — logging, error handling, and monitoring — in production backend systems.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools in a structured, disciplined workflow.

- Alarm.com values working together and collaborating in person. Our employees work from the office 4 days a week .
- 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.
