Job summary

Resideo seeks a Staff Software Engineer to own complex initiatives across device integration through cloud services. You will lead a small pod, drive end-to-end delivery, and shape architecture in a hybrid work setting. Expect hands-on coding with leadership responsibilities and strong documentation practices.

The role emphasizes cloud-native design, event-driven workflows, and production ownership in a distributed Azure environment, with a focus on reliability and performance.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience building and operating production-grade cloud systems.
• Proven experience leading technical initiatives and guiding engineers.
• 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).
• 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.).
• The ability to work in-office three days/week (Tu/Weds/Thurs) in adherence with our required hybrid work environment.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Design and evolve backend services using C#/.NET on Azure within a highly distributed, event-driven architecture.
• Define clear service contracts using OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and contract-first design principles.
• Architect and implement event-driven workflows using Event Hubs, Service Bus, IoT Hub, Event Grid, and internal messaging pipelines.
• Make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance scalability, reliability, delivery timelines, and long-term maintainability.
• 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).
• Establish and enforce clear ownership boundaries, contracts, and integration expectations across systems and teams.
• 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.
• Take ownership for features in production, including on-call participation, root-cause analysis, and long-term remediation.
