Senior Embedded Linux Engineer
$200k - $300kVerkada
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 We are a small, dynamic team focused on building intelligent cloud-managed Intercom systems. Intercom is our second newest major product line and is off to the best start of any product in Verkada's history. Our Intercom allows customers to receive calls from anywhere - at their desk or on their phone - with rich video and 2-way audio. And we have a lot more to build.
We consider our team a startup within a startup, with a large amount of ownership and autonomy. You'll be working alongside a dynamic team of firmware, backend, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.
- Excited by new products, startups, and delivering real customer value
- 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!
- BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Math, Engineering, or science
- 7+ years of experience working on Linux development as a Software Engineer.
- Proficient in C/C++
- Preferred experience working with embedded Linux, cameras, and audio systems
- Expertise with Yocto, Bash
- Familiar with Linux servers, Linux device drivers, Linux kernel patches, secure operating systems and security focused programming.
- Familiarity with RTOS, Secure Boot, Go, WebRTC
- Experience working with Distributed Systems
- Understanding of and practical debugging techniques
- Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week
- Must be willing to travel internationally 2x a year
