The Role:

Vivint is seeking a Software Engineer to develop, improve, and innovate on our Smart Hub software.

It is the centerpiece of our product lineup and plays a critical role in the services Vivint provides. Safety and security are always our top priority.

You'll be able to participate in re-occurring "Innovation Days" and work on innovative projects of your choice. Finally, you'll be able to experience the cutting-edge technology and enhancements in your home with your own Vivint Smart Home System.

Who you will work with:

You will be part of a cross-functional scrum team and interact with product management, program management, QA, and other developers. The team is aligned in priorities and goals. We win and fail together. You will find team members to be helpful and supportive. You will also be a member of one or more guilds where you will interact with others in your same discipline. You will have access to experts in both the engineering field as well as domain knowledge to support you in your role.
