Job Description

Job Description

Alarm.com powers millions of homes and businesses through a cloud platform that integrates security systems, cameras, IoT devices, and partner ecosystems into a unified, reliable experience. Our engineering organization spans embedded systems, cloud services, distributed infrastructure, and large-scale partner integrations.

Role Summary

The Strategic Partner Excellence (SPX) function drives the technical and operational success of Alarm.com's most important SaaS partnerships. We are hiring a Technical Program Manager to lead cross-team execution, ensure partner-facing systems operate reliably at scale, and help shape a unified, reusable platform for partner integrations.

This role requires strong technical fluency, excellent program leadership skills, and the ability to coordinate across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Support. You won't write code, but you will deeply understand how distributed systems interact, how APIs and event flows behave, and what true partner success looks like in production.

How This Role Creates Impact

You will provide structure, clarity, and execution leadership across partner initiatives by :

  • Driving partner discovery, scope alignment, and shared understanding across teams
  • Translating partner requirements into actionable technical plans and sequencing
  • Creating alignment across multiple engineering teams and ensuring dependencies are well understood
  • Defining the requirements for the monitoring, alerting, and operational insights needed for partner health
  • Establishing success metrics that go beyond SLAs to represent real customer and partner outcomes
  • Ensuring the right teams own the right work and that partner commitments are predictable and durable

IC Leadership Scope

This is an individual-contributor position. You will lead programs and influence teams across Engineering, Product, and Operations, but you will not manage direct reports. Your leadership comes through clarity, alignment, decision facilitation, and cross-team coordination.

What You'll Do

Program Leadership

  • Lead multi-team engineering programs that deliver partner-facing capabilities, improvements, and operational maturity
  • Build and maintain integrated plans—scope, milestones, risks, dependencies, metrics
  • Run effective execution cadences (standups, risk reviews, dependency syncs) without unnecessary process
  • Identify risks early and drive tradeoff and sequencing discussions with engineering and product leaders
  • Technical Alignment & Requirements

  • Partner with Tech Leads and Architects to ensure technical direction is feasible, aligned, and well understood
  • Work with Product Managers to clarify partner requirements and translate them into actionable engineering work
  • Document technical decisions, assumptions, integration models, and architectural impacts
  • Operational Excellence

  • Work with DevOps and engineering teams to define requirements for monitoring, alerting, observability, and readiness checks
  • Coordinate incident communication and escalation workflows with support and engineering teams
  • Define and drive adoption of partner success metrics (beyond uptime / SLA), helping Product identify and operationalize the right indicators
  • Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Align engineering, product, QA, support, and operations teams around shared partner outcomes
  • Provide clear, concise status updates and risk summaries to all levels of the organization
  • Build strong relationships across teams to enable smooth delivery and predictable partner success
  • Scaling the Partner Delivery Model

  • Contribute to SPX's operating model—roles, boundaries, and engagement patterns with other teams
  • Help establish repeatable frameworks for onboarding and supporting future partners
  • Identify long-term opportunities for centralized ownership of systems that improve partner reliability and accountability
  • Qualifications

    Required

  • Typically 5–10+ years of experience in technical program management or engineering roles working on complex distributed systems. We are open to candidates at different levels of seniority depending on program scope, independence, and technical depth.
  • Proven ability to lead multi-team programs with evolving requirements
  • Strong understanding of APIs, event flows, data models, and system interactions
  • Strong communication, planning, documentation, and stakeholder alignment skills
  • Ability to drive alignment and clarity across engineering, product, operations, and support teams
  • Willingness to travel ~20–25%
  • Preferred

  • Experience working with SaaS partners, enterprise integrations, IoT systems, or large-scale distributed platforms
  • Experience with observability, operational readiness, and incident management practices
  • Experience helping shape new processes or operating models in a growing organization
  • Experience making priority and sequencing decisions under time constraints while safeguarding long-term architecture integrity
  • The Impact You'll Have

  • You directly influence the success of mission-critical SaaS partners
  • You work across engineering, product, operations, and support to deliver real, measurable impact
  • You help define operational and product success metrics that shape how partners experience the platform You build repeatable models and practices that scale across multiple future partners
  • You play a highly visible, technically challenging role at the intersection of platform evolution and partner growth
  • Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.
