With 30,000+ customers (100+ Fortune 500), $5.8B valuation, and $1B+ annualized bookings, the company is at the forefront of physical AI transformation. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Platform Infrastructure team, you will architect, design, and develop projects that make Verkada's infrastructure the most reliable and cost-efficient while scaling to millions of connected devices globally. You'll lead critical efforts around scalability, reliability, and efficiency—examples include rolling out service meshes or designing cost-efficient services for ingesting and storing terabytes of video footage. Key responsibilities include identifying and leading critical infrastructure initiatives, influencing platform direction with your own ideas, providing technical mentorship to team members, and coordinating cross-functional efforts to deliver key results aligned with product and organizational objectives. You'll need a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related field, with strong experience in Python and/or Go, major cloud platforms (preferably AWS), and infrastructure fundamentals. Preferred qualifications include Terraform, Kubernetes, and service mesh (Istio) experience.
