Description

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 Role

We are looking for a seasoned Systems level Linux engineer / Linux internals expert to help us build our next generation of command connector product that turns any legacy camera into a cloud-native, AI-searchable node.  Under the hood, it's managing dozens of concurrent video streams, translating disparate camera protocols into a single unified pipeline, and feeding all of it into CV models / inference run at the edge of the device itself.  We currently support 100K+ customer cameras on this product and looking for more technical talent to help our growth.

  • Reading kernel oops/panic traces
  • Debugging GPU driver issues
  • Working with boot/security subsystems like secure boot and luks disk encryption
  • Networking internals (routing, firewalling, link-layer issues)
  • RAID array management (mdadm, disk failure/rebuild scenarios)

What You Bring

  • BS/MS in Computer Science (or similar degree)
  • 5+ years of experience of software development for Linux in System Programming Languages (C, C++, Rust, Go, etc)
  • Experience in embedded development or experience with low-level system software development.
  • Good knowledge with operating systems and computer architecture.
  • Good communication & documentation skills.
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week
