Cloud Security Engineer

Founded in 2014, ButterflyMX is on a mission to empower people to open and manage doors & gates from a smartphone. Our products are installed in more than 10,000+ multifamily, commercial, gated communities, and student-housing properties worldwide, including properties developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in real estate.

Our features are designed for developers, owners, property managers, and tenants. And our products lower operating costs and improve tenant satisfaction. Developers and owners no longer need to run building wiring or install in-unit hardware. Property managers can grant building access, revoke permissions, and review entry logs from an online dashboard. Residents can open doors from their smartphones, issue visitor access, and see who is trying to enter the building.

Fantastic people are the key to our success. As a distributed, primarily remote workforce, we’re looking for more intelligent, passionate, collaborative, and down-to-earth individuals to join our growing team. Our culture is transparent and flexible; our benefits range from a 401(k) match to quarterly stipends for self-care.
