Job description

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 role
As an embedded security engineer on the Device Security Team, you'll work with an amazing team of security, firmware, and backend engineers entrusted with the mission of protecting our fleet of physical security products from threats. You'll help define the security & privacy roadmap for Verkada's devices, build tooling and software to measure & improve security posture, and partner closely with product teams to bake secure-by-design principles into our products.
What You'll Do
  • Develop & drive security requirements for the hardware and firmware that goes onto the devices we ship to our customers to improve the security of Verkada's products and exceed customer expectations.
  • Build security tooling to ensure secure development best practices.
  • Perform red team/offensive assessments against firmware & devices.
  • Triage and recommend solutions for security bugs from tools, third party assessments and bug bounties.
  • Develop threat models & attack trees, and participate in security design & code reviews.
  • Explore innovative solutions to enable Verkada business instead of "Security says No".
  • Collaborate with the CISO and security team to grow the broader Verkada security program.
  • Share your security experience with other teams internally and externally via security conferences and blogs, and help your peer engineers grow their own security reasoning.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 8+ years of experience as a security engineer, software engineer, or security consultant.
  • Familiarity with security weaknesses, exploits, attacks and mitigations.
  • Excellent written & verbal communication & collaborative skills.
  • Deep knowledge of Linux-based operating system internals & network protocols.
  • Knowledge of hardware security features such as secure boot, TrustZone, disk encryption, or mandatory access control.
  • Working cryptography knowledge around primitives, protocols and applications.
US Employee Benefits
Verkada is committed to fostering a workplace environment that prioritizes the holistic health and wellbeing of our employees and their families by offering comprehensive wellness perks, benefits, and resources. Our benefits and perks programs include, but are not limited to:
  • Healthcare programs that can be tailored to meet the personal health and financial well-being needs - Premiums are 100% covered for the employee under at least one plan and 80% for family premiums under all plans
  • Nationwide medical, vision and dental coverage
  • Health Saving Account (HSA) with annual employer contributions and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) with tax saving options
  • Expanded mental health support
  • Paid parental leave policy & fertility benefits
  • Time off to relax and recharge through our paid holidays, firmwide extended holidays, flexible PTO and personal sick time
  • Professional development stipend
  • Fertility Stipend
  • Wellness/fitness benefits
  • Healthy lunches provided daily
  • Commuter benefits
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.

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.
