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.

We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.
