About the role
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, 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 looking for a security engineering leader to collaborate with the Developer Experience engineering team. As an embedded partner for the team, you will perform threat models, security design reviews and refine security tools that facilitate security throughout the SDLC. You will define the security roadmap, requirements and priorities to expand and enhance the tools, AI agents, and systems that empower our software engineers.
What You'll Do
- Facilitate the security baked into our applications throughout the software development lifecycle
- Evangelize software security best practices through training and information sharing
- Partner closely with engineering and product teams to improve the security of Verkada’s products and exceed customers’ expectations
- Explore innovative solutions to enable Verkada business instead of “Security says No”
- Collaborate with other engineering leaders to define, communicate, and execute on goals, priorities and process
- Set up security tooling and secure defaults to ensure software security best practices
- Perform architecture analysis, threat modeling and technical design reviews of sensitive features and infrastructure
- Create and operate a bug bounty program
- Triage and recommend solutions for security bugs from tools, third party assessments and bug bounties
- Collaborate with the CISO and security team to grow the broader Verkada security program
