💼 About This Role

You'll build and scale the backend systems powering a new generation of AI-driven physical security products. You'll own the architecture behind large-scale, low-latency systems that ingest, process, and act on multimodal data across Verkada's cloud backend and global fleet of cameras and sensors. Your systems directly protect schools, hospitals, and businesses, with edge devices as a core part of the system.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Design and build distributed backend systems for AI-driven detection and response
• Develop scalable pipelines for ingesting and processing video, audio, and sensor data in real time
• Architect event-driven systems that trigger automated actions and escalations
• Optimize systems for low latency, high availability, and reliability across cloud and edge

📋 Requirements

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale
• Strong experience designing distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and scalable APIs
• Proven track record of building large-scale, data-intensive or AI-powered systems
• Experience with real-time data pipelines and high-throughput systems

✨ Nice to Have

• Familiarity with deploying or integrating machine learning models in video, audio, or multimodal domains
• Experience with Kafka, Temporal, Postgres, or similar streaming/database systems
• Ability to quickly prototype and iterate in ambiguous problem spaces

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏖️ Flexible PTO and paid holidays to relax and recharge
• 🏥 100% covered employee premiums under at least one healthcare plan
• 👶 Paid parental leave and fertility benefits
• 📚 Professional development stipend for continuous learning
• 🍱 Healthy lunches provided daily
