Sr Manager/Director, Security Operations

Deep Sentinel is a breakthrough, next generation home security company that combines state-of-the-art technology (camera, audio, mobile interface, etc.), artificial intelligence and real human guards watching cameras in real-time. No other security company does this. Whereas all other physical security solutions are either reactive (when it is often too late) or require self-monitoring, Deep Sentinel is truly proactive, intervening on potential criminal activity before it happens. Deep Sentinel is literally the only monitored home security system that can (and does!) predict then prevent burglaries before they happen. The Deep Sentinel solution is also easy to install and extremely affordable.

The company is backed by top investors Jeff Bezos and top-tier Venture Capital firms including Intel Capital, Shasta Ventures (Nest, NextDoor), Slow Ventures, UP2398, FoundersFund (Facebook) and Lux Capital. We just raised an expansion round and are prepping for growth acceleration through 2024.
