Senior Frontend Engineer - Alarms

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, Next
47 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.

As a member of the Alarms engineering team, you will be responsible for building compelling user experiences for one of Verkada’s major new product categories. This is an opportunity to take ownership over software products which keep our customers protected in times of critical need.

You’ll be working alongside a small, dynamic team of frontend, backend and firmware engineers to develop these experiences. Our team operates as a startup within a startup, so you can expect a lot of autonomy and impact on the direction of the Alarms product category.

If you are an experienced, frontend or full‑stack engineer who is excited about building new ways to keep people safe and secure, then we want to hear from you.

You’ll work on a small, fast‑moving team with product, design, and full‑stack engineers. The Alarms team operates like a startup within Verkada: high ownership, fast iterations, and meaningful product impact. We are committed to a thriving in‑office culture. This role requires you to be onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA.
