The Company

Janus International (NYSE: JBI) is the global leader in supplying products, solutions and services to the Self Storage industry.

With over 2,000 associates and $1B in revenue, we are the leading global provider of self-storage and commercial industrial doors, relocatable storage units, facility automation solutions, and door replacement and self-storage restoration services.

Headquartered in Atlanta, GA we have facilities across the US as well as Europe and Australia.

Noke is the fastest growing business within Janus and delivers complex Industrial IoT solutions, including Bluetooth electronic locks and access control systems that allow easy access to self-storage facilities from a smart device.

Smart Entry System

Our Nokē Smart Entry system is truly changing the self-storage access control game. Our Smart Entry is a Bluetooth electronic lock and total access control system that allows your customers to easily access your self-storage facility and their unit from their smart device. What does that mean exactly? You can say goodbye to the frustration and inefficient time suck of customers losing their keys or not being able to remember their gate codes.

With advanced technology included inside every unit controller and electronic locks and motion sensors INSIDE every door, this security solution is here to change the way you think about protecting your investment while also making your customers’ lives easier. Another game-changing element of the Nokē Smart Entry system is digital key sharing, where tenants can go into the app on their phone and grant temporary unit access to a friend, family member, or anyone who needs to grab an item from the storage unit. The digital key can be revoked at any time, and an activity log keeps track of exactly when the unit was accessed during the key sharing time frame.

Role Overview

We are seeking a technically strong and execution-focused Senior Director of Engineering to lead the development of our smart access platform serving the self-storage industry. This is a high-impact role responsible for driving engineering execution across embedded hardware, backend cloud infrastructure, mobile applications, and customer facing web interfaces.
