About the role

Alarm.com's video streaming infrastructure delivers real-time video to millions of users every day. We're looking for a technically deep product manager to own the performance, reliability, and evolution of that infrastructure. You will define streaming quality targets (connection success rates, load times, proxy fallback rates, cloud costs) and own the roadmap for improving them. You will work directly with backend, firmware, frontend, and QA engineers to ship those improvements. Day to day, that means reading WebRTC session logs, analyzing codec tradeoffs, benchmarking stream load times, and making prioritization calls between programs like adaptive bitrate streaming and connection reliability. This role is a strong fit for software engineers ready to move into product , or for product managers who want to go deeper technically rather than broader organizationally.

Requirements

We care more about what you can do than how many years you've been doing it.

Data-driven decision making. You've built or owned performance dashboards. You make product decisions based on p50/p95 latency data, error rates, and cost-per-stream.

Ability to read code and architecture diagrams. You don't need to write production code, but you need to understand a system design doc, follow a code review, or read a log file to figure out what went wrong.

Experience managing complex, cross-functional programs. Multiple teams, competing priorities, shifting timelines. You know how to keep things moving without becoming a bottleneck.

Clear communication. You can explain infrastructure complexity in plain language for leadership, and translate business priorities into technical requirements for engineers.

Bonus Points

Experience in IoT, security/surveillance, or connected device ecosystems

Background as a software engineer, SRE, or platform engineer before moving to product

Familiarity with media server frameworks (Janus, Location) or real-time media processing

Experience with cloud cost management (Azure, AWS)

Experience managing vendor/partner technical integrations
