Who We Are

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!
