About the role
About SimpliSafe We're a high-tech home security company that's passionate about protecting the life you've built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. We've created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you're building. Ours is a no-ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those we protect. We don't just want you to work here — we want you to grow and thrive here. We are embracing a hybrid work model: our teams come together in our state-of-the-art office on two out of our three core days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and choose where they work for the remainder of the week. Why Are We Hiring? We're growing and thriving — so we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. What sets SimpliSafe apart in the AI space: many companies focus on SaaS and machine learning. We do that as well — but we also deploy AI directly on cameras, which is a significantly more complex technical challenge. We're looking for a leader who has done this before and is excited to push the frontier of on-device intelligence at scale. What You'll Do Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, this Head of AI will lead SimpliSafe's entire Artificial Intelligence organization — spanning AI/ML/CV infrastructure and research, and AI-powered product experiences across SimpliSafe's consumer portfolio. We are looking for a visionary leader who can drive innovation across both the technical platform and the product surface: building the foundational AI capabilities that power our hardware and cloud, while also partnering closely with Product to define and ship the AI-driven features our customers experience every day. This position requires strategic thinking, deep technical expertise — including on-device and edge AI — and the ability to lead and grow a high-performing, multi-disciplinary organization. Primary Responsibilities • Partner with the executive team to develop and execute the company-wide AI strategy — spanning platform, infrastructure, product, and research — aligned to SimpliSafe's mission and business objectives. • Own the AI product roadmap in close partnership with Product Management, defining the AI-powered experiences customers see and interact with across our apps, devices, and monitoring services. • Work closely with cross-functional teams — Product, Engineering, Design, and Operations — to identify and prioritize opportunities to leverage AI/ML/CV technology to drive customer value and business growth. • Drive the platform and infrastructural requirements for enablement of consumer-facing and internal AI/ML/CV capabilities — both in the cloud and on-device, including on constrained hardware such as cameras and embedded systems. • Manage the AI organization's budget, allocate resources effectively across platform and product workstreams, and make data-driven decisions to optimize cost-efficiency. • Set technical standards and best practices across SimpliSafe in the use of AI/ML/CV technologies, with particular emphasis on model optimization for edge and on-device deployment. • Stay current with the latest research and advancements in computer vision, on-device AI, generative AI, and embedded ML — and translate emerging capabilities into product opportunities. • Develop and maintain relationships with external partners, vendors, and research organizations. • Design and evolve the organizational structure of the AI team to support both current needs and future scale — including hiring, developing, and retaining world-class talent across research, engineering, a
