Staff Software Engineer - Connected Device & Platform

About the role

Join a world-class engineering organization building the cloud platform that powers millions of connected devices across Security, Comfort, Air, and Water solutions. In this role as a Staff Software Engineer, you will operate as a technical owner for complex initiatives, leading small groups of engineers (2-3 developers) and driving delivery across multiple system layers, from device integration through cloud services and application consumption. This role blends hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and end-to-end ownership, with a strong emphasis on clear technical thinking, concise documentation, and disciplined software practices.

Job Duties

• Technical Leadership & Initiative Ownership

• Own medium-to-large initiatives end-to-end, from early requirement discovery through design, implementation, rollout, and production hardening;

• Lead and guide a small pod of 2-3 developers, providing technical direction, task breakdown, and delivery accountability;

• Balance hands-on development with leadership responsibilities, remaining deeply involved in critical code paths and design decisions;

• Drive alignment across teams (Product, Firmware, Mobile, QA, SRE, DevOps, Partner teams) to deliver cohesive, cross-layer integrations.

Requirements & Documentation

• Lead technical requirement discovery in collaboration with Product and partner teams, translating ambiguous inputs into clear technical designs;

• Produce concise, high-quality documentation (RFCs, design docs, sequence diagrams, operational notes) that enables fast, confident execution;

• Establish and enforce clear ownership boundaries, contracts, and integration expectations across systems and teams.

Reliability, Automation & Quality

• Champion strong software engineering practices: automated testing, CI/CD, safe deployments, and progressive rollouts;

• Drive improvements in observability, resilience, and operational readiness using metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting;

• Lead performance analysis and capacity planning for high-throughput device telemetry and fan-out workloads;

• Participate in incident investigations and ensure learnings translate into durable fixes and platform improvements.

Platform & Operational Ownership

• Take ownership for features in production, including on-call participation, root-cause analysis, and long-term remediation;

• Proactively identify platform gaps and propose initiatives to improve scalability, reliability, developer experience, or cost efficiency;

• Act as a technical point of contact for complex integrations spanning multiple services and teams.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience building and operating production-grade cloud systems, with deep expertise in C#/.NET, distributed systems, concurrency, and scalable service design;

• Proven experience leading technical initiatives and guiding other engineers through delivery;

• Conceptual understanding of IoT Hub technologies OR event-driven architecture with high throughputs;

• Professional experience with event-driven architectures and Azure messaging services (Event Hubs, Service Bus, IoT Hub, etc.)

Qualifications

• Professional experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and frequent, reliable deployments;

• Experience running containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, with working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL data stores (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Cosmos DB, Redis, etc.)

Skills

• The ability to work in-office three days/week (Tu/Weds/Thurs) in adherence with our required hybrid work environment;

• Experience in highly rigorous engineering environments, competitive technical programs, or equivalent applied industry experience demonstrating an ability to be analytical and solve complex engineering problems at a level commonly seen in top tier technical training or high performing engineering roles;

• Experience building connected-device or IoT platforms at scale;

• Demonstrated ability to lead small teams without formal people management responsibilities;

• Strong written communication skills and a bias toward clear, minimal, and actionable documentation;

• Comfort working across organizational boundaries and influencing without authority;

• Experience with performance tuning, throughput optimization, and distributed system debugging;

• A mindset of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

About Us

Resideo Technologies has announced its intention to spin off ADI Global Distribution and establish it as a separate, publicly traded company. Under this plan, ADI will continue its role as a leading global wholesale distributor serving commercial and residential markets, while Resideo will retain its manufacturing and product-solutions business. Upon separation, both companies will operate independently to better serve their respective markets and customers. The spin-off is currently targeted for completion in the second half of 2026, subject to customary conditions.
