Qualifications
- Ala*** provides the leading cloud platform for smart security and IoT, powering millions of home and business experiences.
- Drive end-to-end delivery of large, multi-engineer initiatives with a high degree of autonomy — from technical design through implementation, validation, and production readiness.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of backend software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of operating at Staff-level scope and impact.
- Proven experience leading large, multi-engineer technical initiatives end-to-end — from architecture through delivery — with a high degree of autonomy and accountability for outcomes.
- Demonstrated ability to define and evolve reusable platform patterns, shared libraries, or integration frameworks that are actually adopted and used by other engineers — not just built.
- Strong architectural judgment: ability to reason about service boundaries, domain ownership, failure modes, versioning, and long-term maintainability — not just immediate implementation choices.
- Deep proficiency in backend platform engineering: RESTful and/or gRPC APIs, distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka or equivalent), and shared platform design.
- Experience operating in environments moving from tightly coupled systems toward domain-aligned, independently deployable services.
- Demonstrated ability to anticipate medium-term technical problems and drive toward solutions proactively — not just respond to issues as they surface.
- Active participation in engineering leadership initiatives — tech councils, working groups, cross-team design reviews — with a track record of influencing other experienced engineers, not just consuming information.
- Credibility working alongside architects and engineering managers on technically complex, cross-team initiatives — influencing direction without needing to be the final decision-maker.
