Embedded Software Engineer, Access Control
About The Position
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. We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed access control systems. Access Control is our 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 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. We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires you to be onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA.
