More about Level Home:

When we look around our homes today, we see opportunity. We see “smart” products that lack utility and connected devices that push us further apart. We see consumers with high expectations, current standards set too low, and products that simply fail to deliver.
 
Level Home Inc. is re-inventing the standard. We’re redefining “smart”, to center around thoughtfulness, practicality, and the people who make the problem worth solving. We approach product design with a blank slate, zero assumptions, and an open-mind because the way a problem is defined sets the stage for its solution. We couple deep expertise with unbridled curiosity, because to us “smart” means simple, intuitive, and useful.
 
We start with empathy, take new perspectives, and challenge existing standards. People are at the heart of what we do, and respecting their style, choices, and preferences is the first step to uncovering a thoughtful solution that truly improves their daily lives. After all, we’re not just designing products for a house, we are designing them for the people who make it a home.

 

At ASSA ABLOY, we believe our greatest asset is our people, and we strive for competitive compensation plans to attract the best talent. The salary range for this position is $110k-$260k + bonus. The salary range provided is a good faith estimate of what our ideal candidates are likely to expect, and we take into consideration a broad scope of factors, including but not limited to: skill sets, experience and training, education, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
