Senior Product Manager

About the role

Alarm.com is looking for a senior product manager to lead development of key commercial video hardware products, starting with our PoE camera line. This is a hands-on product role for someone who can operate at both the architecture level and the last-10%-of-the-product level. You will own products across hardware, firmware, and software over their full lifecycle. That means working with ODM partners on platform and component choices, making product and specification tradeoffs, pressure-testing real-world installation workflows, and driving the software and firmware work needed to deliver a complete product experience. Day to day, this role can range from reviewing chipset options with a hardware partner, to tearing down a prototype to evaluate a mechanical constraint, to prioritizing launch-critical software issues with engineering. You should care as much about system architecture as you do about the details that determine whether a product actually feels finished in the field: accessory quality, LED behavior, cable routing, installation flow, and overall polish. This role is a strong fit for product managers who have gone deep on hardware and embedded systems, or for hardware, embedded, or systems engineers who want to move into product.

Responsibilities

• Key commercial video hardware products. Lead product development for high-priority commercial video devices, beginning with PoE cameras.
• Own product direction from concept through launch and continued lifecycle improvement.
• Hardware, firmware, and software product definition. Define requirements and make tradeoff decisions across the full product experience, not just the device itself. Ensure the hardware, firmware, and software pieces come together into a product that works well for customers and installers.
• ODM partner direction and product shaping. Work directly with ODM partners to evaluate platforms, select components, solidify specifications, and drive execution. Push for quality, challenge assumptions when needed, and make sure important details do not get waved away.
• Installer and field experience. Review products from the perspective of the installer and end user. Identify friction in mounting, wiring, accessory kits, setup, and deployment, and drive improvements before those issues reach the field.
• Launch readiness and lifecycle follow-through. Lead key launches end to end, including launch-critical issue resolution and post-launch prioritization. Partner with engineering, QA, operations, design, and PMM to ensure products ship at the right quality bar and continue improving after release.
• Cross-functional decision making. Work across hardware, firmware, software, operations, design, quality, and go-to-market teams. Engineering owns implementation; you own the product outcome.

Requirements

• We care more about technical judgment, curiosity, and ownership than about checking every box on paper.
• Ability to operate across hardware, firmware, and software. You can reason about the full system and make good prioritization calls across disciplines. You are comfortable owning a hardware product beyond the physical device itself.
• Hands-on product instincts. You are willing to open the box, inspect the accessory bag, walk through the install flow, and test assumptions yourself. You care about the difference between a product that works in theory and one that works well in practice.
• Pragmatic problem solving. You push for excellence, but you are practical about getting products to market. When a partner says something requires a respin, delay, or escalation, you know how to dig in and evaluate whether there is a simpler path.
• Experience driving complex cross-functional work. You can keep momentum across multiple teams and external partners without losing sight of product quality or decision clarity.
• Clear written and verbal communication. You can write rigorous requirements, document decisions clearly, and communicate effectively with technical teams, external partners, and leadership.
• Strong technical foundation. Background in engineering, computer science, math, physics, or another rigorous discipline preferred.
• Bonus Points
• Experience shipping cameras, IoT devices, networking hardware, or other connected devices
• Experience working with
