Staff Software Engineer

Most engineers optimize for the feature in front of them. Staff engineers optimize for the system that must keep delivering features two years from now — and they know the difference between a design that's clean on a whiteboard and one that holds up under real traffic, real teams, and real change.

We're scaling Alarm.com's customer experience platform through a significant architectural transition, and we need someone who has done this kind of work before — who knows how legacy systems accrue complexity, how to carve the right seams, and how to bring a team along for the journey without breaking what's already in production.

THE ROLE

Alarm.com is one of the leading IoT platforms in North America. Millions of homeowners and businesses rely on our software to secure, monitor, and automate their properties — and keeping that experience reliable, fast, and consistent at scale is a serious engineering challenge.

This position is on the Customer Experience (CX) team — a full-stack group embedded at the core of Alarm.com's mobile and web apps. CX owns the moments that matter most to customers: getting them up and running on the platform, giving them the tools to manage their accounts, and finding ongoing ways to make the overall experience smarter and more intuitive. The systems that back those experiences are growing in complexity, and we're actively working through an architectural evolution that requires strong technical leadership from within the team.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll define how the team builds — not just what it ships. That means setting the architectural patterns the team builds against, driving the decomposition of complex monolithic systems into maintainable services, and making sure the quality bar doesn't slip as the pace picks up. You'll also be a mentor and technical anchor: the engineer that others bring their hardest problems to, and trust to give them a straight answer.

This is a hands-on role. You'll still write code, lead design sessions, and stay close to production. The difference is that your decisions ripple outward — they shape how the whole team works.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define the architectural patterns and technical standards for the CX team - your decisions become the baseline that others build against
• Lead the decomposition of monolithic systems into well-scoped, independently deployable services, with a clear migration strategy that keeps production stable throughout
• Design systems that absorb change - architectures that remain sound as requirements evolve and scale increases, not just ones that work on day one
• Drive high-leverage technical decisions: data modeling, API contracts, service boundaries, event-driven patterns, and infrastructure choices
• Identify architectural drift and technical debt before they threaten delivery, and build the case for addressing them
• Set and maintain standards for testing, observability, and deployment across the team's systems
• Conduct code and design reviews that raise the team's technical floor - teaching through feedback, not just approving or rejecting
• Collaborate with engineering managers and product managers to sequence technical investment alongside product priorities
• Stay close to the work: write production code, prototype solutions, and maintain enough hands-on involvement to lead with credibility
• Model effective use of AI tools across the team - identifying where they provide real leverage and helping the team build good instincts for when and how to apply them
• Other duties as assigned 

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, a related field, or equivalent work experience
• 7+ years of professional software development experience, with a demonstrated progression into technical leadership
• Deep, hands-on experience in systems design and backend architecture — you can show specific examples of systems you've designed, the tradeoffs you made, and how those decisions held up over time
• Experience designing and operating high-scale, high-availability services — systems where latency, throughput, and reliability SLAs are real constraints, not theoretical ones
• Meaningful experience with distributed systems: service decomposition, inter-service communication, data consistency, and failure isolation
• Strong object-oriented programming skills; C# or Java experience is a plus
• Deep SQL expertise — schema design for scale, query optimization, index strategy, and understanding how database bottlenecks surface at the application level
• Proven ability to lead technical direction in a collaborative environment — you know how to build alignment on architectural decisions, not just make them

Don't check every box? That's okay — we'd still encourage you to apply. Strong engineers come from a lot of different paths, and we care more about depth of thinking and patterns of impact than a perfect resume match.

NICE TO HAVES

• Direct experience leading or significantly contributing to a monolith-to-microservices migration — including the organizational and process dimensions, not just the technical ones
• Experience with event-driven architecture and messaging systems at scale (Kafka or similar)
• Familiarity with the customer experience domain: onboarding flows, account management systems, session management, or notification infrastructure
• Experience with Android (Kotlin/Java), iOS (Swift), or a front-end web framework — enough to engage meaningfully on client-side design decisions
• Experience building platforms or shared services that other engineering teams build against

Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.

Spire is making a fundamental shift in how it operates its constellation. We are moving from a model where trained operators watch dashboards and escalate to experts, to one where the system is fully autonomous, self-healing, and data intelligent. This Director will lead that transformation. You will set the technical vision, define the architecture, build and inspire the team, and personally raise the standard for what modern space operations look like. 

The old model relies on operators, escalations, manual processes, and institutional knowledge locked in the heads of a few experts. It does not scale and it does not belong in a modern space company. We know what we want to replace it with: SRE principles applied to a constellation, autonomous fault handling, AI-driven anomaly detection, low toil, high data quality, and continuous improvement baked into the system. 

What This Role Is Not: 

This is not a role for someone who wants to graduate out of technical work. If your ideal week is back-to-back 1:1s, sprint ceremonies, and stakeholder syncs, this is not the right fit. We need a director who writes code, reviews architecture, challenges technical decisions, and earns the team's respect through demonstrated craft and not just tenure or title. 

What You Will Work On: 

Technical Leadership 

• Define and own the technical roadmap for autonomous constellation operations
• Set the architectural direction for the data platform, reliability systems, and automation infrastructure
• Stay hands-on: review code, prototype solutions, and get into the details when it matters
• Establish engineering standards across code quality, system design, testing, and observability, and hold the team to them
• Be the person engineers come to when the problem is genuinely hard

Team Building & Culture 

• Recruit, develop, and retain a team of 6 to 10 world-class reliability and platform engineers
• Set the pace, tone, and ambition for the team and make being on it feel like a privilege
• Create an environment where engineers grow fast, own their work, and ship things they are proud of
• Identify gaps and level up engineers through mentorship and not just management

Operational Transformation 

• Lead the shift from manual, operator-driven processes to fully automated and self-healing operations
• Define and drive toward SLOs, error budgets, and reliability targets for the constellation
• Partner with satellite operations and mission teams to translate pain into software solutions

Cross-Functional Influence 

• Be the technical voice of the team in company-wide conversations about architecture, infrastructure, and platform strategy
• Influence how Spire thinks about automation, data, and AI/ML across the broader engineering organization

Basic Qualifications: 

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 in a technical leadership or staff-level individual contributor role
• Demonstrated track record building and shipping reliable production systems at scale. You have owned things that could not go down.
• Deep technical credibility. Engineers on your teams have respected your judgment and not just your title.
• Experience with SRE principles, reliability engineering, or large-scale automation. You have reduced toil systematically and not just complained about it.
• Strong foundation in Python, distributed systems, data platforms, and cloud infrastructure
• Experience hiring and developing engineers. You know what great looks like and how to find it.
• The communication and influence skills to drive technical decisions across teams you do not directly control

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Experience applying AI/ML or advanced analytics to operational or monitoring problems
• Experience writing performance software in Rust
• Background in space systems, aerospace, or highly constrained real-time environments
• Experience building data lakes, telemetry platforms, or observability infrastructure at scale
• A history of leading teams through technical transformations and not just maintaining the status quo

Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.

Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses—this is not something candidates need to have before applying. _#LI-MK1

How you will make an impact:

Our Data In Flight (DIF) team owns the core pipelines that ingest and route user and event data into Iterable, powering identity, segmentation, and real-time personalization. We are building a multi-tenant data platform that application teams can build on top of, with clear contracts, SLOs, and guardrails. Our product and our Elasticsearch clusters are multi-tenant, and we run Elasticsearch on Kubernetes using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK).

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer with a track record of operating Elasticsearch-backed data platforms in multi-tenant SaaS. You’ll be a hands-on IC who both designs distributed systems and acts as a platform “product owner” for app teams: understanding their needs, shaping the platform roadmap, and defining stable interfaces between product and data infrastructure.

How you will make an impact:

• Own and evolve core Data In Flight services (ingestion, user and event APIs, identity, system events) with a focus on reliability, performance, and cost.
• Lead the Elasticsearch strategy for our multi-tenant live user and event data: index and mapping design, shard strategy, and safeguards across shared clusters.
• Design and enforce platform contracts (APIs, data models, SLAs, and usage limits) that let product teams move quickly while keeping the data platform safe and scalable.
• Work across other data and application teams on initiatives such as Elasticsearch upgrades, guardrails, resharding, and event retention.
• Provide senior technical leadership during incidents and reviews, turning operational learnings into durable platform improvements.
• Mentor engineers on distributed systems, data modeling, and pragmatic use of Elasticsearch.

What you'll bring:

You likely have many of the experiences below, but not necessarily all of them:

• Hands-on Elasticsearch expertise in production:
• Supporting customer-facing features or platforms backed by ES
• Designing schemas and queries for high-cardinality, multi-tenant workloads
• Operating large clusters (capacity planning, scaling, incident response)
• Multi-tenant platform experience:
• Building shared data services used by multiple product teams
• Implementing rate limits, quotas, and noisy-neighbor protections
• Thinking in terms of contracts and SLOs, not one-off integrations
• Strong distributed systems background:
• JVM-based services (Scala/Java) and event-driven or streaming architectures
• Comfort with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar), messaging, and caches
• Staff-level impact and collaboration:
• Leading cross-team projects from design through rollout
• Translating technical decisions into clear business and product trade-offs
• Clear written communication (RFCs, design docs, post-incident reviews)

Nice To Have:

• Experience with Scala and the Play framework or similar JVM stacks.
• Prior work on core user data platforms (identity, profile stores, event pipelines, or CDP-like systems).
• Exposure to FinOps / infra cost optimization in data-heavy systems.
• Experience in MarTech / AdTech or other high-volume, low-latency data domains.

Perks & Benefits:

• Competitive salaries, meaningful equity, & 401(k) plan
• Medical, dental, vision, & life insurance
• Balance Days (additional paid holidays)
• Fertility & Adoption Assistance
• Paid Sabbatical
• Flexible PTO
• Monthly Employee Wellness allowance 
• Monthly Professional Development allowance 
• Pre-tax commuter benefits
• Complete laptop workstation

The US base salary range for this position at the start of employment is $156,00 - $242,000.
