About SimpliSafe

SimpliSafe is a leading innovator in the home security industry, dedicated to making every home a safe home. With a mission to provide accessible and comprehensive security solutions, we design and build user-centric products that empower individuals and families to protect what matters most.

We believe in a collaborative and agile environment where learning and growth are continuous. Our teams are composed of talented individuals who are passionate about technology, security, and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
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 and Wednesday, to work together in person, and teams can choose 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.
