At Motorola Solutions, we believe that everything starts with our people. We’re a global close-knit community, united by the relentless pursuit to help keep people safer everywhere. We build and connect technologies to help protect people, property and places. Our solutions foster the collaboration that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, safer businesses, and ultimately, safer nations.

Department Overview

Motorola Solution's Access Control Division is redefining how people experience the spaces they move through, starting at the front door. Our mission is to make physical environments smarter, safer, and more seamless through modern access control and automation technology that people rely on every day. We’re building an industry-leading platform at meaningful scale, and we’re looking for engineers who want to shape the future of physical-meets-digital systems. This is a place where you’ll work on real-world problems that span distributed systems, hardware-adjacent software, security, and high-availability cloud services used by organizations around the world. You’ll join a highly collaborative, team-centric engineering culture that values strong analytical thinking, clean and pragmatic software design, and ownership from idea to production. We’re especially excited about engineers who are curious, adaptable, and comfortable working across multiple technologies, bringing both depth and range to how we build and evolve our platform.

Job Description

Responsibilities:

• Feature Development: Design and develop new features across Avigilon Alta software and web applications, from concept through production.
• Integrations & Ecosystem: Build and maintain third-party integrations, produce clear developer documentation, and support APIs and SDKs that power our broader ecosystem.
• Platform Maturity: Help evolve our application platform and marketplace, contributing to long-term scalability, extensibility, and developer experience.
• System Architecture: Partner with product and engineering leaders to influence system architecture, technical direction, and design decisions across the platform.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Develop and operate software for deploying, managing, and monitoring production systems and cloud infrastructure.
• Quality & Craft: Write unit tests, automated UI tests, and execute test plans to ensure reliability, performance, and a high bar for quality
• Operational Excellence: Take a production-first mindset, sharing responsibility for system reliability, observability, and long-term maintainability.
• Agile Collaboration: Work closely with leadership and peers to prioritize and deliver work in a fast-moving, iterative environment

• Familiarity with Serverless/Lambda, CloudFormation, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2/VPCs, and DynamoDB/RDS
• Proven track record building API-based integrations with services like G Suite, Microsoft Graph, Okta, OneLogin, and Slack
• Knowledge of Linux fundamentals (bash/command-line), Docker, and monitoring tools like Datadog or CloudWatch
• Experience with IoT protocols (MQTT), log/data analysis pipelines, and backend services for mobile applications

Our Values:
