Founded in 2016, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 15 offices and 2,200+ full-time employees. We build the intelligence layer that sits on top of Verkada's cameras. Our work spans motion and trajectory search, person re-identification, live activity timelines, license plate recognition, and dashboards for occupancy and queue analytics. If you've ever wondered how a security team spots a trend across hundreds of cameras in seconds, that's us. We operate like a startup within a startup, with real ownership and autonomy over our product area. The data we surface is complex, but our job is to make it feel obvious.
