Principal Network Security Engineer - Alarm.com, Tysons, Virginia

About this role

Connected alarm, video and access platforms sit on a network that reaches into homes, businesses and monitoring centres. A principal network security engineer designs and defends that infrastructure — segmentation, access, monitoring and the architecture decisions that determine how much damage a single compromise can do.

Why it matters to this industry

Every monitored camera and access-control panel a protection firm installs for a client is a network endpoint in that client's home or office. The reputational exposure from a platform breach lands on the installer as much as the manufacturer, which is why buyers increasingly ask about it.
