Overview

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.

Who you are
  • Excited by new products and startups
  • You think about delivering best-in-class products and experiences - not features
  • You can take a less-than-fully-fleshed-out product idea and drive it to completion
  • BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Maths, Engineering, or science
Requirements
  • 7+ years of industry software engineering experience
  • Mastery of JavaScript: Scoping, closures, contexts, prototypes, classes, etc
  • Expert using React
  • Strong architectural understanding of custom components, custom UI, and cross-browser support
  • Eye for design, product details, and polish
  • Understanding of HTTP and practical debugging techniques
  • Working knowledge of at least one server-side framework and one database system
  • Degree in Computer Science or related Engineering field.
Culture and Values
  • Self-motivated problem solver: At Verkada, you will tackle large, complex problems with no clear answers. 
  • Teach and learn: You will learn new technologies while being entrusted with the technical ownership of major systems, and we hope to learn something from you in turn. 
  • Growth mindset: As a fast-growing startup, every day brings new challenges and opportunities for growth, and we want you to grow with us!

Additional Information: 

  • We do sponsor and take over sponsorship of employment visas for this role. If we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa.

At Verkada, we want to attract and retain the best employees, and compensate them in a way that appropriately and fairly values their individual contribution to the company. With that in mind, we carefully consider a number of factors to determine the appropriate starting pay for an employee, including their primary work location and an assessment of a candidate's skills and experience, as well as market demands and internal parity. A Verkada employee may be eligible for additional forms of compensation, depending on their role, including sales incentives, discretionary bonuses, and/or equity in the company in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs)
