Embedded UI Engineer - Alarms
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. 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. We're looking for an 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.
