About SimpliSafe

We don't just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.
We're embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home.

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.
At SimpliSafe, we exist to keep people safe. This is no small feat, and we're only able to deliver on it because of our passionate team of SimpliSafers. We aspire each day to offer our team a culture that's guided by our mission and values, and we're looking to hire an Engagement & Inclusion Specialist to help us foster this culture. The Engagement & Inclusion Specialist will play an important role by managing programs and initiatives designed to improve employee engagement and inclusion at SimpliSafe.
