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.

• Collaborate closely with designers, engineers, and product managers in a highly agile development environment with quick ideation and prototyping.
• Build and foster a collaborative work environment.
• Run inspiring and formal brainstorming sessions with engineers, product, and other designers.
• Developing product strategies that deliver on customer needs and the company’s vision
• Build clear, concise and intuitive UX/UI with everything from low-fidelity wireframes to pixel perfect final designs.
• Serve as a project lead, co-owning the final product with product and engineering leads.

• Initiate and participate in user research as needed on key projects.

• Proficient in: Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (PhotoShop, After Effects, and Illustrator)
