Job description

About the Role

As a Technical Support Engineering Intern, you won't be grabbing coffee or shadowing others. Our interns are at the forefront of our team, tackling real-world challenges alongside our full-time engineers. Based at our San Mateo HQ, you'll work with cutting-edge, cloud-managed IoT technology, helping our enterprise clients with everything from troubleshooting to system design.

This internship is your chance to make a real impact, build valuable technical skills, and jumpstart your career in a dynamic, high-tech environment.

What You'll Do
  • Hands-on Troubleshooting: Dive into complex network, hardware, and software problems on Verkada's platform
  • Level Up Fast: Become the go-to expert customers trust for smart system design and integration advice
  • Communicate with Impact: Translate heavy technical concepts into clear, sharp advice on phone calls, live chat, and emails 
  • Own It, End to End: Take full ownership of customer issues from "we have a problem" to "problem solved"
  • Team Up with Tech Leaders: Partner directly with Engineering and Product teams to test new gear and hunt down bugs before anyone else
  • Share Knowledge: Write Knowledge Base content that helps thousands of users
What You Bring
  • Available for a full-time (40 hours per week) in-person internship for Spring 2027 in San Mateo, CA
  • A third or fourth-year student in a Bachelor's degree program from an accredited university, with a focus on a related technical field like Networking, Telecommunications, Systems Administration, Information Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Cybersecurity
  • You have coursework experience with computer networking, Linux, and computer systems
  • You're a problem-solver with a keen eye for detail
  • You can clearly and confidently communicate complex technical information
  • You thrive in a team environment
  • Industry certifications (like CCNP, CCNA, or Network+) are a bonus, but not required!
Intern Perks & Benefits
At Verkada, we believe that internships should be as rewarding, supportive, and fun as they are impactful! That's why we're committed to providing a world-class experience that supports both your personal well-being and professional growth. Here are just a few of the perks and benefits you can expect as a Verkada Technical Support Engineering intern:
  • Monthly housing stipend for those relocating to the area, in addition to a competitive hourly wage 
  • Daily lunch catered onsite, complimentary barista-made drinks, and fully stocked snacks to keep you fueled 
  • Intern-exclusive events and mixers, allowing you to connect with other interns across different teams 
  • Cross-functional collaboration opportunities, giving you real exposure to how teams work together
  • Meetings with company executives so you can hear directly from leaders and gain insight into building a successful career 
  • 333 program: you can go out with your fellow interns after work and expense $30 off a meal
  • Friendly tournaments involving Super Smash Bros, Magic, and other games
  • Intern exclusive bingo cards that allow you to explore the Bay Area and win fun swag!
  • And more! From team-building activities to mentorship opportunities, we're here to support your growth every step of the way
Don't just take it from us, hear directly from some of our current and past interns on their experience: 
  • "A benefit of being a TSE at Verkada is about being a part of a fast-growing company. You learn about the latest products deeply and learn how to effectively communicate what you have learned in an easy-to-understand way for customers: 'If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.' Albert Einstein" - Daniel, TSE Intern, London
  • "After training (which feels a lot like university lectures) you spend time in queue, which is basically being on-call for the next chat/call/email that comes in. When a customer needs something, whether that's information about a product, how to set up that product, or that product having a bit of a moment, you are the one who gets to be the source of truth for that person. Being able to communicate this to them in a reasonable amount of time is paramount to doing well in this role" - Tedrick, TSE Intern, HQ
  • "This internship has given me a lot to think about in terms of career goals. I would say in particular this internship is a great way to build your connections for the Silicon Valley area if your goal is to work in the Tech space. It's also given me a unique perspective and understanding of enterprise equipment. It serves as a great launching point for your career." - Thomas, TSE Intern, HQ
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.
