We are a small, dynamic team focused on building 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 fair amount of ownership and autonomy. You’ll be working alongside a dynamic team of firmware, mobile, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.
Who you are- Excited by new products and startups
- 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
- BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Maths, Engineering, or science
- 7+ years of industry backend software engineering experience
- 4+ years of professional experience as a backend engineer at a rapidly growing start up or innovative company.
- Experience driving technical direction and leading teams on project execution
- Architect scalable systems and design latency sensitive applications for our Intercoms deployed around the world.
- Experience collaborating cross functionally to design complex systems with simple and robust backend APIs
- History of shipping out significant products. We are looking for someone who can own backend systems end-to-end.
- Ownership mentality, resolving problems that span beyond team boundaries
- Deep expertise with relational databases. Postgres experience a plus
- Demonstrated expertise in either Python or GoLang
- Experience with Kubernetes a plus
Additional Information:
