Senior Software Engineer

Company Overview

At Noonlight, an Alarm.com company, our mission is to protect and comfort people so they can live freely. What began as an app focused on helping people walk safely from point A to point B, is now a suite of emergency response APIs backing some of the smartest home, health, lifestyle, and commercial security products in the market.

Noonlight combines advanced technology with real humans to protect and comfort people so they can live freely. Launched in 2013 as a mobile application, Noonlight has since grown into a connected safety platform—partnering with products and services to enable modern and affordable 24/7 professional sensor monitoring, video monitoring, false alarm filtering, and data-rich emergency response via an API. Noonlight’s technology works everywhere in the United States and Canada, allowing end users to quickly get help in any situation, without requiring a 911 call or the ability to talk or text. Noonlight was recently acquired by Alarm.com, furthering its vision of automatic safety. It continues to operate as an independent business, with the elite knowledge, benefits, and backing of Alarm.com.
