We're looking for a Senior or Staff Product Engineer who loves building APIs that make hardware simple. You'll work on the core challenge of Seam: abstracting away the chaos of hundreds of device APIs into something developers actually enjoy using.
You'll integrate locks, thermostats, cameras, and sensors from dozens of manufacturers. You'll build the abstractions that hide Z-Wave complexity, manufacturer quirks, and protocol differences. You'll ship features from backend to frontend, talk directly to customers in Slack, and own products end-to-end.
This role is perfect if you get excited about making messy things clean, shipping fast, and building products developers love.
Device Integrations - Build and improve integrations with IoT devices across manufacturers and protocols. Create reusable abstractions that scale.
Customer-Facing APIs - Design and ship APIs and SDKs that thousands of developers rely on daily. Make the complex simple.
0-1 Products - Identify opportunities and build new products from scratch. Recent example: our access scheduling system that handles millions of temporary codes.
Enterprise Connectors - Build direct integrations with enterprise customers' systems. Make Seam plug-and-play for large deployments.
Customer Success - Jump into customer Slack channels, fix bugs in real-time, gather feedback, and ship improvements based on what you learn.
We're making the physical world programmable. If you've used a code to enter an Airbnb or had your office thermostat adjust automatically, you've probably used Seam.
You'll work with our Smart Home team that is based in Europe but will work directly with a PM that is in SF, you may have some early morning calls (8-9am) but otherwise work hours are PST. We value written communication, simple solutions, and shipping fast. Team includes alums from Nest, Apple, Stanford, YC. Backed by Tiger Global and founders from Stripe, Plaid, Airbnb.
Hybrid role in San Francisco (In office 3x a week), collaborating with our global team
Seam provides a universal API and fully managed, no-code toolset that makes it incredibly easy for software platforms to integrate, automate, and orchestrate IoT devices across industries. Instead of negotiating with manufacturers, handling inconsistent APIs, or building custom logic for every brand, teams rely on Seam to unify smart locks, thermostats, sensors, and full access control systems under one simple layer—no integration work required.
Seam was built to solve one of the hardest problems in software: device integrations. Manufacturer APIs are inconsistent, require lengthy business development, and demand ongoing maintenance. Companies often repeat this work across multiple brands—costing months of engineering time before they can ship a single feature. Seam removes that complexity and now goes far beyond integration.
Alongside our universal API, Seam offers a suite of ready-to-use products that accelerate time to market:
A unified API that normalizes and extends manufacturer APIs
SDKs that speed up development
Embedded UI components for instant device-management interfaces
Authentication flows to connect third-party device accounts
A fully managed Customer Portal with prebuilt UI for end users to connect, map, and monitor devices—no-code
Automation Workflows that sync access with reservations, issue codes, manage climate, and more
Connectors that integrate directly with PMS and industry systems so teams can deploy automation with zero integration work
With Seam, teams can orchestrate powerful automations—issuing mobile keys, generating time-limited codes, adjusting climate, syncing reservations, or unifying building operations—without building integrations or custom workflows.
Today, Seam powers software across short-term rentals, hospitality, multifamily, commercial real estate, fitness, education, and more.
We make IoT work for software—so teams can focus on delivering exceptional experiences, not managing integrations.
