Principal Software Engineer – Test Platform
Boston, MA
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, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing 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.
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.
This is a highly collaborative position partnering closely with Infrastructure, Backend, Firmware, Monitoring, and Product teams to ensure our validation platforms evolve alongside product and system complexity. It's ideal for a leader who wants to remain deeply technical while shaping a high-impact engineering team responsible for validating complex, distributed systems at scale.
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
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
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
Customer Obsessed – Building deep empathy for our customers, putting them at the core of our work, and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
Aim High – Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
No Ego – Maintaining a "no job too small" attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
One Team – Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
Lift As We Climb – Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.
Lean & Nimble – Working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often ambiguous environment.
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.
The target annual base pay range for this role is $168,000 to $247,000.
This target annual base pay range represents our good-faith estimate of what we expect to pay for this role. We use a market-based compensation approach to set our target annual base pay ranges and make adjustments annually. We carefully tailor individual compensation packages, including base pay, taking into consideration employees' job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and other relevant business factors.
Beyond base pay, we offer a Total Rewards package that may include participation in our annual bonus program, equity, and other forms of compensation, in addition to a full range of medical, retirement, and lifestyle benefits. More details can be found here.
We're committed to fair and equitable pay practices, as well as pay transparency. We regularly review our programs to ensure they remain competitive and aligned with our values.
We wholeheartedly embrace and actively seek applications from all individuals, no matter how they identify. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we believe our work is enriched when we incorporate a multitude of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We want everyone who works here to thrive and contribute to not only our mission of keeping every home secure, but also to making our workplace safe and supportive for others.
