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. Verkada's Connectivity products push that boundary, securing people and property in remote and edge environments. Our team brings Verkada's AI threat detection, deterrence, and operational insights anywhere you need them, allowing our cameras and other security solutions to be deployed in locations without existing internet or power. This role will own Verkada's edge products: the Gateway product line and the hardware/software platform behind our Security Trailers. The mission is to bring network + power to any device, anywhere, and make edge products the backbone of physical AI beyond the building. This role requires you to work onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA.
