About the Role

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.

What You'll Do
  • 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
  • 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!
What You Bring
  • BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Maths, Engineering, or science
  • 3+ years of experience working on Linux development as a Software Engineer.
  • Proficient in C/C++.
  • Familiar with Linux servers, Linux device drivers, Linux kernel patches, secure operating systems and security focused programming.
  • Preferred experience working with embedded Linux
  • Bash scripting experience
  • Experience with Yocto
  • Familiarity with Secure Boot
  • Familiarity with Go and Python.
  • Familiarity with WebRTC
  • Experience working with Distributed Systems
  • Understanding of HTTP and practical debugging techniques
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week
