Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Alarm.com as an employer.

What you need

  • 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.

Nice to have

  • 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.

What you get

  • Medical plans with company subsidies
  • Health Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution
  • 401(k) with an employer match
  • Paid vacation that increases with tenure
  • Paid holidays
  • Wellness time

Worth weighing

  • The role requires working from the office 4 days a week, which may not suit all candidates.
  • No specific technologies or frameworks are mentioned beyond general backend concepts, which may indicate a need for flexibility in tech stack.
  • The position emphasizes AI-assisted development, which may require candidates to adapt to new tools and workflows.
  • The salary range is provided, but it is not clear how performance or growth within the role may impact compensation over time.
