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, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 15 offices across three continents, 2,100+ full-time employees and 30,000+ customers across 70+ countries.

About This RoleAs an IT Systems & Automation Architect, your primary duties involve designing system architectures, planning integration strategies across platforms with the goal of enabling scale & efficiencies, and executing integration & automation initiatives. You'll identify current gaps, develop solutions for scale and automation, define requirements and dependencies, and oversee the implementation and rollout of these initiatives. Please note - this is a hands-on role. You are expected to both develop the solution and take an active role in its build-out (in partnership with the broader organization). Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential, as is staying updated on industry trends - with special focus on automation, AI, and enhancements to drive global scale. You'll mentor junior engineers and ensure compliance with regulations, security and quality standards.

Our ideal candidate has a deep technical aptitude for building automations for corporate applications and integrations with security and global scale as the foundation. This person understands the day-to-day aspects of an IT organization, especially in a global high-growth startup with ever-changing requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee transformation initiatives in the realm of integrations, corporate systems automation, and global scale


• Proactive mindset in developing security-centric processes, integrations, and automations to support Verkada's global fast-paced growth


• Hands on experience in developing cross-system automations leveraging common workflow automation technologies like Okta, Workato, Postman, or building out home-grown, scalable experiences


• Extensive hands-on experience with common corporate platforms like Google Workspace, Okta, Workday, Salesforce (Slack), etc


• Implementing SaaS system changes, access controls, and enhanced employee-centric processes with focus on security and global scale


• Assessing business requirements, evaluating our software stack and implementing enhancements and solutions


• Working closely with People Ops, Legal, Sales Ops and other teams to develop scalable and reliable solutions.


• Developing analytics and dashboards to measure effectiveness of current environments and identify scale and value-creation opportunities


• Create and maintain standards, procedures, and documentation related to security and compliance requirements for broader corporate systems environments


• Participate in system audits and perform testing for disaster recovery or SOX controls, ensuring a secure processing environment that protects the integrity and availability of information

Requirements:

• 5-star customer service mindset.


• Excellent teamwork skills - we have a #OneTeam mindset!


• 5+ years in systems engineering (Corporate IT) & integrations with 4+ years working in integrations, automation, and transformations for scale.


• Experience working with common workflow automation technologies like Okta, Workato, Postman, or building out home-grown, scalable experiences.


• Proven experience with managing cloud applications, platforms, and APIs.


• Flexible work schedule; we take every opportunity to succeed as a company - sometimes that means early mornings, late nights, and unexpected phone calls and Slack messages outside of typical working hours.


• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with both engineering and non-engineering audiences with customer focus and problem solving mentality.


• Ability to find out-of-box solutions to best fit business needs and requirements.


• Ability to overcome all obstacles and challenges, leveraging creative problem solving and data to get things done.
