Overview
Our team owns the Events and Notifications portion of Command, Verkada’s user portal.

Responsibilities:
- Build scalable systems capable of handling high traffic from our security cameras deployed around the world.

- Communicate with engineering teams throughout the organization to build world class products.
Requirements:
- Degree in Computer Science or similar field.
- 2+ years of professional experience as a Back End Engineer, ideally at a rapidly growing start up or innovative company.
- Demonstrated expertise in either Python or GoLang. Experience with either Java or C++ would be a plus.
- Experience working with both relational and non-relational databases. We use MySQL, Dynamo, Postgres, amongst others.
- History of shipping out significant products. We are looking for someone who can own backend systems end-to-end.
