About the Alarms Team:
As a member of the Alarms engineering team, you will be responsible for building compelling user experiences for one of Verkada’s major new product categories. This is an opportunity to take ownership over integrated hardware/software products which keep our customers protected in times of critical need.

If you are an experienced Firmware Engineer who is excited about building new ways to keep people safe and secure, then we want to hear from you.
