Job description

Verkada is the largest cloud-based B2B physical security platform company in the world. Only Verkada offers six product lines — video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace and intercoms — integrated with a single cloud-based software platform.

Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, Verkada gives organizations the real-time insight to know what could impact the safety and comfort of people throughout their physical environment, while empowering them to take immediate action to minimize security risks, workplace frustrations and costly inefficiencies.

Founded in 2016 with more than $460M in funding raised to date, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 16 offices across three continents, 1,900+ full-time employees and 25,000+ customers across 70+ countries.

Overview

We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed intercom systems. Intercom is our second newest major product line and is off to the best start of any product in Verkada’s history. Our intercom allows customers to receive calls from anywhere - at their desk or on their phone - with rich video and 2-way audio. And we have a lot more to build.

We consider our team a startup within a startup, with a fair amount of ownership and autonomy. You’ll be working alongside a dynamic team of firmware, backend, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.

Who you are

• Excited by new products and startups
• You think about delivering best-in-class products and experiences - not features
• You can take a less-than-fully-fleshed-out product idea and drive it to completion

Requirements

• BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Maths, Engineering, or science
• 3+ years of experience working on Linux development as a Software Engineer.
• Proficient in C. Go and Python are nice to have.
• Experience working in an agile team environment.
• Familiar with Linux servers, Linux device drivers, Linux kernel patches, secure operating systems and security focused programming.
• Preferred experience working with embedded Linux, cameras, audio and video processing.

Nice to have

• Bash scripting experience
• Experience with Yocto
• Familiarity with Secure Boot

Culture and Values

• Self-motivated problem solver: At Verkada, you will tackle large, complex problems with no clear answers.
• Teach and learn: You will learn new technologies while being entrusted with the technical ownership of major systems, and we hope to learn something from you in turn.
• Growth mindset: As a fast-growing startup, every day brings new challenges and opportunities for growth, and we want you to grow with us!

Pay Disclosure

At Verkada, we want to attract and retain the best employees, and compensate them in a way that appropriately and fairly values their individual contribution to the company. With that in mind, we carefully consider a number of factors to determine the appropriate starting pay for an employee, including their primary work location and an assessment of a candidate’s skills and experience, as well as market demands and internal parity. This estimate can vary based on the factors described above, so the actual starting annual base salary may be above or below this range. This estimate is also just one component of Verkada’s total rewards package. A Verkada employee may be eligible for additional forms of compensation, depending on their role, including sales incentives, discretionary bonuses, and/or equity in the company in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

$130,000 - $280,000 USD
