SimpliSafe opens doors to expanded Boston headquarters

SimpliSafe, maker of smart home security systems, has officially opened the doors to its new corporate headquarters, located at 100 Summer Street in Downtown Boston.

According to the company, the new space, which will eventually total 150,000 square feet, was custom-built to enable SimpliSafe to support its dynamic, hybrid team and advance its mission to make every home secure.

Features of the new office

SimpliSafe says that the office has:

• A dedicated research and development lab and maker space to offer a place for product and engineering teams to collaborate on the product lifecycle – from concepting and developing prototypes all the way through commercialization
• A replica of the company’s owned-and-operated monitoring facility that allows cross-functional teams to continuously innovate and improve the service that customers receive, including the response they receive during times of emergency.
• Semi-open and closed collaboration spaces all designed with acoustics in mind and outfitted with state-of-the art technology to support the company’s hybrid approach that incorporates both at-home and in-office work time

SimpliSafe has roughly 500 Boston-based employees and projects nearly 100 hires over the coming year across core business functions, with a heightened emphasis on roles in product and engineering research and development, logistics, information security and IT.

Continued growth

“SimpliSafe is well-positioned to not only continue investing in talent but also in our employee experience – our new headquarters being a tangible demonstration of that,” said Christian Cerda, Chief Executive Officer at SimpliSafe.

“We continue to grow our customer base, propel our business forward and expand our workforce by remaining laser-focused on our customers and providing them the advanced technology and services that keep them protected. As we continue to introduce innovative solutions, like 24/7 Live Guard Protection and provide meaningfully better security and protection, we expect to maintain our growth trajectory, invest in new and existing talent to fuel our business and ultimately make our mission a reality.”
