Requirements:
  • 8+ years programming and administering enterprise, multi-site physical security systems.
  • 3+ years in an architecture or technical leadership role.

  • Experience building PoCs, making technology selection decisions, and mentoring engineers.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
