## About the role

The Core Licensing & Devices team owns the layer that turns Verkada's licenses into revenue: a double-entry accounting ledger that reconciles every license into daily revenue recognition. This is the system Finance closes the books on and the one auditors trace, so every entry has to be right. As Verkada scales past millions of devices and the business matures toward tighter reporting and audit requirements, this system moves from important to load-bearing.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years building backend services with strong correctness, consistency, and durability guarantees at scale
- Comfort working shoulder-to-shoulder with Finance and Accounting — or a track record of getting deep in an unfamiliar, high-stakes domain fast
- Fluency in Python or Go, other backend languages can contribute to your experience, but the interviews will be conducted in one of the above
- A track record of partnering with Finance, Accounting, or other non-engineering stakeholders, translating policy and ambiguity into systems they can rely on without surprise
- At the Staff level: the ability to set technical direction across teams, shape shared architecture, and raise the bar on how the org designs and operates critical financial systems
- Bonus: experience preparing financial systems for audit (SOX or external financial audit)
