Job description

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.

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.

About the Role

We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed access control systems. Access Control is Verkada’s second major product line. Our Access Control solution allows users to manage their doors, schedules, and user credentials from virtually anywhere on their laptop or phone.

We are building a line of embedded devices with screens, and we need an amazing UI engineer to build interfaces for these devices. You'll have the challenge of building the kind of intuitive experiences that our customers have come to expect from our web and mobile software, but in a much more constrained hardware environment. You'll also be helping develop a UI framework for all Verkada screen devices now and in the future.

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 engineers and UX designers to develop these products.

What You'll Do

• 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 product components, 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!

What You Bring

• BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Maths, Engineering, or science
• 3+ years of experience in UI development on embedded devices, video games, and/or mobile applications
• Android mobile application development experience preferred but optional
• Proficient in C/C++
• A strong sense of visual design and UX
• 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
• Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week

Verkada is committed to fostering a workplace environment that prioritizes the holistic health and wellbeing of our employees and their families by offering comprehensive wellness perks, benefits, and resources. Our benefits and perks programs include, but are not limited to:
