About the Role
Hitting that scale isn't just a technical problem. We're creating the IoT core that every product team across Verkada relies on to accelerate their roadmaps. We do as much cross-team alignment as deep systems design, and hold a high bar on both execution and communication with our peers.
We're five senior engineers today, with a new-grad joining us this summer — and we're hiring more as the platform's reach across Verkada grows. We're high-trust and inclusive: we give and receive feedback directly, we learn out loud, and we get better together because of it.
What You'll Do
- Senior engineers on this team architect, ship, and bring others along. We learn and teach as we build.
- Design and lead major platform features end-to-end, such as the IoT core, the device-metrics platform, or the licensing ledger.
- Lead operational improvements that increase system robustness, reduce pager noise, and help the team learn from incidents when they occur.
- Teach as you ship — through design reviews, code reviews, crisp written communication, and direct mentorship.
- Listen to other Verkada teams, and help drive the platform's roadmap toward the company's biggest long-term bets.
What You Bring
- 6+ years of experience building backend services with consistency, latency, and uptime guarantees at scale.
- Fluency in at least one server language — Python or Go preferred; adjacent languages like Ruby or JavaScript (NodeJs) welcome.
- Skilled at listening to other engineering teams, shaping shared technical direction, and shipping changes they can build on without surprise.
- This role requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency for FedRAMP compliance, and onsite presence five days per week.
- We want to build an inclusive team. Research consistently shows that candidates from underrepresented groups apply less often than is warranted — if this opportunity is a positive challenge for your career, please apply.

Staff Frontend Engineer - Mapping & Spatial Platform
Who We Are
Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, AI-powered platform. A leader in cloud physical security, Verkada helps organizations strengthen safety and efficiency through one connected software platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.
Over 30,000 organizations worldwide, including more than 100+ companies in the Fortune 500, trust Verkada as their physical security layer for easier management, intelligent control, and scalable deployments. Founded in 2016, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 15 offices and 2,200+ full-time employees.
About the Role
We are looking for a founding Staff Engineer to lead the technical architecture of our next-generation Spatial Platform. For the past decade, floor plans have been static images; we are rebuilding that foundation from the ground up as a high-performance, interactive, and collaborative 3D engine.
This is a greenfield role for a builder who wants to own a core pillar of Verkada’s infrastructure before we hit the public markets. You won't just build features—you will architect a platform that supports 8+ product lines, solving the "hard math" of geospatial projections and the "hard graphics" of rendering thousands of interactive assets at a buttery-smooth 60 FPS.
What You'll Do
- Build the Rendering Platform: Design a high-performance rendering architecture that supports both an interactive viewer for high-density geospatial visualization and a precision editing surface for real-time vertex manipulation.
- Set the UX Bar: Partner with Design to define the interaction model for spatial editing — easing curves, snapping behavior, cursor states, loading transitions — and hold the line on pixel-level polish across the platform.
- Optimize for Latency: Solve the "500-element wall" with partial GPU buffer updates and custom shaders, ensuring sub-millisecond input latency during real-time vertex manipulation.
- Spatial Intelligence: Develop power-user tools like real-time 3D line-of-sight analysis, signal strength heatmaps, and AI-driven hardware placement suggestions.
- Build the Sync Engine: Own the client-side CRDT architecture (Yjs/Automerge-class) powering offline-first, multi-user editing — document model, local persistence, presence, and conflict resolution.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience building complex, customer-facing web applications or high-performance graphics engines.
- Mastery of Web Technologies: JavaScript fundamentals (scoping, closures, contexts, prototypes, classes, etc.) and React expertise (common state and data libraries like React Query, Zustand, etc.)
- CS Fundamentals: A degree in Computer Science or a related field, with strong intuition for data structures, memory management, and linear algebra.
- Eye for Detail: Pixel-perfect execution — you notice the half-pixel misalignment, the 16ms jank, the easing curve that feels "off." You hold a high bar for visual polish and won't ship until interactions feel right.
- Product Grit: Ability to bridge the gap between CAD-level precision and consumer-grade UX, partnering closely with Design to turn rough specs into delightful, production-grade experiences.
- Mathematical Precision: Understanding of coordinate system conversions, geospatial projections, and 3D geometry.
Nice to Haves
- Graphics Stack: Experience with Deck.gl, MapLibre, Three.js, or raw WebGL/WebGPU.
- Collaborative Systems: Experience with real-time sync architectures (e.g., Yjs, Automerge, or Operational Transforms).
- Low-Level Web: Proficiency in high-performance 2D/3D graphics (Canvas API, low-level buffer management, or custom shaders).
- Geospatial Mastery: Familiarity with PostGIS, vector tiling (MVT), and GIS workflows.

About the Team
Atlas is the founding engineering team responsible for the Maps mandate at Verkada. Our mission is to transform the physical world into a high-performance, interactive digital twin. We build the Spatial Systems—the core rendering engine, tiling infrastructure, and collaborative APIs—that power the visual interface for our entire product ecosystem.
The Platform Mandate
Atlas does not build siloed features. We build a Spatial Platform that our core Product Teams—including Cameras, Access Control, Sensors, Alarms, and Admin—use as their canvas. You will be responsible for ensuring that as we scale to 8+ product lines, the map remains a performant, unified, and "multiplayer" experience.
What You’ll Do
- Zero-to-One Execution: Act as a "Player-Coach" to build the V1 of our Spatial System from the ground up. You will own the initial delivery of our image pipeline and set the technical standards for our collaborative editing protocols.
- Platform Architecture: Lead the design of a modular, plugin-based architecture. You will define the SDKs and APIs that allow 8+ Product Teams (Cameras, Access Control, Alarms, etc.) to overlay their specialized data onto our maps seamlessly.
- Data Ingestion Strategy: Oversee the development of the systems that transform unstructured source data—blueprints, CAD files, and high-res imagery—into clean, topologically sound vector data using ML and automated processing.
- Hire & Mentor: Build the founding Atlas team from scratch (4-6 engineers). You will establish the engineering culture, from code review standards to architectural RFC processes, focusing on high-performance graphics and spatial math.
- Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the primary technical diplomat for the Maps mandate. You will negotiate technical boundaries with other Product EMs to ensure a unified user experience across the entire [Company Name] suite.
What You Bring
- Execution Bias & Technical Grit: You thrive in the high-ambiguity phase of a zero-to-one build. You are a builder who prioritizes shipping high-utility foundations over perfect abstractions, with a proven ability to translate a high-level vision into a tangible, functioning platform in weeks, not months.
