About the Role We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed intercom systems.
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.
We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed intercom systems. Intercom is our second newest major product line and is off to the best start of any product in Verkada’s history. Our intercom allows customers to receive calls from anywhere - at their desk or on their phone - with rich video and 2-way audio, and we have a lot more to build.
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, mobile, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.
Join the fastest-growing frontier in our AI for the physical world portfolio: Intelligent Intercom Systems. The Intercom product line is a critical component of our intelligent building ecosystem, delivering rich, low-latency, multimodal interactions (video, audio, and access control integration) directly at the environment’s edge. This is a "startup within a startup" opportunity where you will have significant ownership over the architectural direction of this burgeoning product line, which is already the most successful launch in Verkada history. We have ambitious plans to disrupt , including AI-driven visitor screening and remote environmental sensing. You will work alongside firmware, mobile, and frontend experts to drive this core element of our physical security layer.
