Your Role

We're seeking an experienced, automation-focused Quality Assurance Engineer II to join our Mobile team to help us deliver high-quality products. This team develops specialized mobile applications designed to manage and control the Hudl smart camera systems. It allows coaches and administrators to automate the recording and uploading of sports videos for indoor and outdoor venues without needing a dedicated camera operator. Your primary mission will be to be the testing expert within your cross-functional squad, ensuring the delivered product meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance. You will actively guide technical testing discussions and challenge the team to maintain high standards.

In this position, you’ll:

• Own testing. Lead the squad's testing efforts, using your customer and system understanding to ensure our products meet and exceed user expectations.
• Automate. By aligning our processes with development speed, you’ll make informed decisions on what, how, and when to automate.
• Collaborate. You’ll be an integral part of a cross-functional team, working closely with coworkers across Engineering, Product, Design, and Scrum, all to ensure the delivery of high-quality products.

Location

We’re looking to hire near our offices in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, but we’ll consider remote candidates in Kansas City, Chicago, Boston, Austin or Dallas.

Must-Haves

• Experienced. You have 2+ years of software testing experience and a strong understanding of the product life cycle.
• Technically proficient. You have hands-on experience with iOS and Android mobile app automation and approach testing with a strong customer and user-experience focus.
• A natural problem solver. You think outside the box to find creative ways to break software and can navigate shifting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• A team player. You default to trust and work effectively with global teams, using your communication skills to build empathy and alignment.

Nice-to-Haves

• Contract Testing Exposure Familiarity with the concepts of contract testing, with exposure to common tools (e.g., Pact), particularly for validating API and backend service compatibility.
• AI Tool Exposure. Curiosity and exposure to leveraging AI tools (such as LLMs, specialized coding assistants, or test data generators) to increase efficiency in documentation, test case creation, or initial failure diagnosis.
• Sports knowledge. You are passionate about American Football and are keen to learn more.

Our Role

• Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
• Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
• Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.

Compensation

Software Engineer I

Are you ready to start your career in software engineering and contribute to real-world security and IoT solutions? Do you want hands-on experience building software that interacts directly with hardware devices, backend services, and web applications? If so, we invite you to join our team at Alarm.com.

As a Software Engineer I, you will work on a cross-functional product team and contribute production code across multiple layers of the stack. You’ll implement features from specifications, collaborate closely with senior engineers, product managers, QA, and hardware teams, and progressively take ownership of well-scoped projects. This role is designed to help you grow from executing defined tasks to independently delivering meaningful components of larger systems.

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer I, you will:

• Design, implement, and test well-scoped software features (with guidance as needed) across backend services, web applications, databases, and hardware-integrated systems.
• Implement functionality from specifications and design documents, asking clarifying questions and identifying gaps or inconsistencies in requirements.
• Develop and maintain backend workflows and messaging-based integrations, including parsers, processors, and supporting business logic.
• Use approved AI tools and models, both locally and cloud-based, to help analyze unfamiliar or complex code, explore implementation approaches, and complete directed coding tasks (while validating outputs, protecting sensitive data, and adhering to engineering and security best practices.)
• Write and maintain unit tests and assist with test data setup to ensure correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
• Participate in code reviews, incorporating feedback and contributing thoughtful suggestions to improve code quality.
• Refactor existing code to improve readability, performance, and long-term maintainability.
• Collaborate with Product Management, Quality Engineering, and hardware teams to clarify requirements, resolve issues, and deliver features.
• Take ownership of assigned features or small projects, tracking work through completion and communicating status and risks.
• Proactively identify additional work when capacity allows and communicate availability to the team.
• Other duties as assigned. 

Technical Scope

In this role, you may work with:

• Backend systems and web applications built with C# and .NET.
• Databases and in-memory data stores using SQL, SQL Server, and Redis.
• Device and service messaging systems, including Kafka, RESTful APIs, and gRPC, to initiate actions and monitor device state.
• Cloud-native infrastructure and deployment tools, such as Argo, Docker, Kubernetes, and major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Internal tooling and shared libraries that improve testing, development efficiency, and code quality.

Requirements

• 0–2 years of professional software development experience (internships, co-ops, or academic projects acceptable).
• B.A. or B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience with object-oriented programming (C# or similar languages).
• Familiarity with web technologies and modern front-end frameworks (Ember.js, Angular, or React a plus; expertise not required).
• Working knowledge of databases and SQL.
• Ability to read, understand, and implement from technical specifications.
• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working in unfamiliar areas of the codebase.
• Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills.
• Willingness to learn new systems, tools, and domains, including hardware-integrated software.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

A successful Software Engineer I:

• Delivers high-quality, tested features with guidance and increasing independence.
• Communicates clearly during design discussions, code reviews, and cross-team collaboration.
• Seeks feedback and incorporates it quickly.
• Demonstrates ownership over assigned features and follows through to completion.
• Gradually expands technical breadth across the stack and product domain.
• Contributes positively to team culture and shared engineering standards.

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.
