Senior Product Manager, Commercial Video IoT Devices

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.

What You’ll Own

• 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.
• Final product quality and finish. Be the person who notices when a product is technically functional but not actually ready. Own decisions and feedback on the details that shape quality, including industrial/mechanical details, status indicators, packaging inputs, in-box accessories, and setup experience.
• 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.
