Job description

Who We Are

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.

• Record customer interactions and how they were resolved so the full team has context.

Returns Processing

• Work with Finance to resolve returns issues.

Logistics Support

• Schedule LTL freight carriers and prepare shipping documents such as BOLs and SLIs.

What You Bring

Required

• Strong written and verbal communication skills (email and phone), including knowledge of professional email etiquette
• A customer-first mindset, with the patience and judgment to calm tense situations and see issues through to resolution
• A track record of managing a daily workload with about 90% autonomy, bringing proposed solutions when you raise problems
• The ability to keep your speed and accuracy steady as tasks get more complex
• Comfort with tech stacks (ERP, WMS, or logistics platforms) and investigating mismatches between system records and physical inventory
• Strong attention to detail, a positive attitude, and a team-player mindset suited to a fast-paced startup
• Must pass a customer service assessment

Preferred
