About the Role

Verkada’s Alarms team builds the intelligent systems that detect, verify, and respond to real-world security threats—whether it's a break-in or suspicious activity caught on video. We combine intrusion sensors, cameras, and AI to create a fast, reliable, and modern security experience.

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

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of industry software engineering experience
  • 5+ years of experience developing on Android
  • 2+ years Embedded Android or AOSP experience
  • In-depth understanding of Kotlin and Android SDK
  • Jetpack Compose experience a plus
  • Experience building UIs for Linux with frameworks like Qt a plus
  • Can deliver high performance UX
  • Comfortable writing multi-threaded, asynchronous code
  • Experience collaborating cross functionally to design simple and robust backend APIs
  • Eye for design, product details, and polish
  • Degree in Computer Science or related Engineering field
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week

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!
