## 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
