We're a small but mighty team made up of talented engineers, innovative product thinkers, and thoughtful operations professionals. We thrive in a fast-paced environment where we adapt quickly, collaborate deeply, and solve complex challenges with urgency and creativity. Every team member plays a critical role, and we value curiosity, autonomy, and the drive to build something truly impactful.

As we grow, we're looking for people who want to roll up their sleeves and help shape the future of home security. If you're excited by hard problems, energized by collaboration, and motivated by a meaningful mission, we’d love to meet you!

"We have a huge amount of heart, and that energy is contagious. Previously we were primarily an engineering-led team. Since then, we’ve grown into a more product-led organization, which has brought a lot of clarity. As engineers, we trust the product team’s vision and feel empowered to build features that support an incredible product."
