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 Team

The Camera Firmware Platform team owns the foundation that every Verkada camera runs on. While our product firmware teams bring new camera categories to market, this team makes every camera in the fleet, both existing and future models, more reliable, faster, leaner, and more power-efficient.

• Edge Storage: We own the on-camera storage stack that turns every Verkada camera into a self-contained recording device. Our mandate is reliable, accessible, secure, and observable storage of customer video. Footage is preserved instantly across SD cards and raw NAND, even during network outages or sudden power loss, for millions of cameras and petabytes of video. This extends to the backend services that manage retention, cloud backup, and storage health across the fleet.
• Firmware Platform: Building on that foundation, we own the cross-cutting firmware systems underneath every camera feature: boot and shutdown, memory and power management, system state orchestration, IPC, observability, and firmware update. We build these once, for every camera model and SoC, so product teams can move fast without rebuilding the same infrastructure.

About the Role

As the Engineering Manager for Camera Firmware Platform, you will lead a highly technical team of storage and embedded systems engineers responsible for the reliability, performance, power, and stability of firmware running on a fleet of more than 1.8 million perpetually online devices. You will set the storage and platform roadmap, decide which fleet-wide investments matter most, and turn them into measurable improvements in footage retention, storage endurance, boot time, memory headroom, power draw, and crash rates.

You will partner closely with the Camera Firmware product team, Hardware, Streaming, Computer Vision, Cloud Infrastructure, Security, Manufacturing, and Product. You will also work with Verkada Linux, the shared OS layer across all Verkada product lines, to incubate platform capabilities on cameras and contribute them back for use across the company product lines.

This role combines deep technical leadership with people management. We are committed to a thriving in
