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, Wednesday, or Thursday - working together in person and choosing 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.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we're growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Staff Computer Vision Scientist, Edge AI to join our growing Edge AI team. As a key contributor, you will lead development of on-device machine learning for outdoor monitoring in the home security space. You will build and optimize computer vision models that run in real time on resource-constrained embedded devices like outdoor cameras and doorbell cameras, balancing accuracy with latency, memory, power, and reliability in challenging conditions (night, weather, motion blur, occlusions).

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end development of edge ML models for outdoor monitoring (e.g., person/vehicle/package detection, classification, tracking, segmentation, event understanding).

• Architect, train, and deploy transformer-based vision models (e.g., compact ViTs, hierarchical transformers, DETR-style detectors) and hybrid CNN-transformer backbones optimized for embedded inference.

• Drive model efficiency through resource-aware design and training, including:

• Architecture: Token/patch reduction, efficient attention variants, early-exit / conditional compute

• Training: distillation from large transformer teachers to edge students

• Compression: Quantization (PTQ/QAT), pruning, mixed precision, and operator-aware optimization

• Translate product requirements into model targets (accuracy, FPS, memory footprint, power/thermal) and ensure models meet budgets on doorbell/outdoor camera hardware.

• Partner with embedded/firmware and platform teams to integrate models into production pipelines; profile bottlenecks and improve end-to-end runtime performance.

• Define evaluation strategies tailored to outdoor edge deployments; perform failure analysis and improve long-tail robustness (nighttime, rain/snow, backlight, fast motion).

• Set technical direction and raise engineering standards: best practices for experimentation, reproducibility, model/version management, and deployment readiness; mentor other ML engineers.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years in applied ML/ML engineering, including shipping production CV models.
• Strong computer vision background with deep learning expertise across detection/classification/segmentation/tracking.
• Hands-on experience with vision transformers and/or DETR-style architectures, including practical knowledge of efficiency trade-offs for edge deployment.
• Demonstrated success deploying models in resource-constrained, real-time environments (embedded/mobile/IoT/edge).
• Deep experience in model optimization: QAT/PTQ, distillation, pruning, compression, mixed precision, and hardware/runtime-aware training.
• Proficiency in Python and PyTorch and/or TensorFlow; ability to productionize models and collaborate with systems engineers (C++ experience strongly preferred).
• Staff-level leadership: ability to drive ambiguous initiatives, align stakeholders, and mentor engineers.

Bonus Points:

• Expertise in efficient transformer techniques (e.g., attention approximations, windowed/local attention, KV caching where applicable, token merging, sparsity) and their deployment implications.
• Experience building model "ladders" across multiple chipsets/device tiers with consistent KPIs and automated regression testing.
• Experience with embedded inference tooling and runtimes (e.g., TFLite, ONNX Runtime, TensorRT) and model export/compatibility constraints.
• Familiarity with embedded accelerators and profiling (ARM NEON, DSP/NPU toolchains), kernel/operator tuning, and real-time video pipelines.
• Experience with long-tail data strategies (active learning, hard-negative mining) and edge reliability/telemetry feedback loops.

What Values You'll Share

• Customer Obsessed- Building deep empathy for our customers, putting them at the core of our work, and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
• Aim High- Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
• No Ego- Maintaining a "no job too small" attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
• One Team- Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
• Lift As We Climb- Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.
• Lean & Nimble- Working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often ambiguous environment.

What We Offer

• A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment where you can build, grow and thrive
• A comprehensive total rewards package that supports your wellness and provides security for SimpliSafers and their families (For more information on our total rewards please click here)
• Free SimpliSafe system and professional monitoring for your home.
• Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that bring people together, give opportunities to network, mentor and develop, and advocate for change.

The target annual base pay range for this role is $183,300 to $268,800.

This target annual base pay range represents our good-faith estimate of what we expect to pay for this role. We use a market-based compensation approach to set our target annual base pay ranges and make adjustments annually. We carefully tailor individual compensation packages, including base pay, taking into consideration employees' job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and other relevant business factors.

Beyond base pay, we offer a Total Rewards package that may include participation in our annual bonus program, equity, and other forms of compensation, in addition to a full range of medical, retirement, and lifestyle benefits. More details can be found here.

We're committed to fair and equitable pay practices, as well as pay transparency. We regularly review our programs to ensure they remain competitive and aligned with our values.

We wholeheartedly embrace and actively seek applications from all individuals, no matter how they identify. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we believe our work is enriched when we incorporate a multitude of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We want everyone who works here to thrive and contribute to not only our mission of keeping every home secure, but also to making our workplace safe and supportive for others.
