About the role
The Device Platform team owns the backend between Verkada's cloud and the hardware we ship — device provisioning, OTA firmware rollout, and the licensing layer that turns devices into a business. Verkada already operates at millions of devices, and we're scaling the platform for the next order of magnitude — with the consistency, latency, and uptime guarantees our enterprise customers depend on.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of experience building backend services with consistency, latency, and uptime guarantees at scale
- Fluency in at least one server language — Python or Go preferred, adjacent languages like Ruby or JavaScript (NodeJs) welcome
- Skilled at listening to other engineering teams, shaping shared technical direction, and shipping changes they can build on without surprise
- This role requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency for FedRAMP compliance, and onsite presence five days per week
- We want to build an inclusive team. Research consistently shows that candidates from underrepresented groups apply less often than is warranted — if this opportunity is a positive challenge for your career, please apply
More about this role
Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.
We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation , more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.
You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.
