Director of Hardware Product Management

About SimpliSafe

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday and Wednesday, to work together in person, and teams can choose where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

• Passion for the consumer technology and mission-driven products that improve people’s lives.
• Highly analytical and comfortable working in a fast-paced, data-driven environment while applying experience and judgement to make decisions.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels—from technical teams to C-suite executives.
• Why You’ll Love This Role
• This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of home security through thoughtful, customer-focused hardware innovation. You'll work at the intersection of technology, design, and purpose—delivering peace of mind to millions of people every day.
