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.
About the Team
As a member of the Alarms engineering team, you will be responsible for building compelling user experiences for one of Verkada’s major new product categories. This is an opportunity to take ownership over software products which keep our customers protected in times of critical need.
You’ll be working alongside a small, dynamic team of frontend, backend and firmware engineers to develop these experiences. Our team operates as a startup within a startup, so you can expect a lot of autonomy and impact on the direction of the Alarms product category.
About the Role
We're looking for an Android Embedded UI Engineer to build the on-device interface for Verkada's alarm console — a touchscreen device used for real-time security monitoring, alert response, live video streaming, and two-way audio communication.
You'll own the UI end-to-end, working at the intersection of software and hardware. This means tight collaboration with the firmware team, a strong instinct for performance on constrained devices, and genuine care for how the product feels to someone using it in a high-stakes moment.
What You'll Do
- Build and own the touchscreen UI on the alarm console, from architecture through to polish
- Develop real-time experiences for security alerts, live video streaming, and two-way talkdown
- Help define technical direction and architecture for on-device UI development
What You Bring
- 6+ years of software engineering experience
- Strong Android expertise with hands-on experience building on Android as an embedded device OS
- Prior experience shipping embedded UI products — security panels, kiosks, industrial displays, or similar
- Solid grasp of performance on constrained hardware and how to build smooth, reliable experiences within those limits
Bonus Points
- Experience with native Linux UI frameworks such as LVGL or Qt
- Background in physical security or IoT products
