About the Role

We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed access control systems. Access Control is our second major product line. Our Access Control solution allows users to manage their doors, schedules, and user credentials from virtually anywhere on their laptop or phone.

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, backend, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.

What You'll Do
  • Excited by new products and startups

  • You can take a less-than-fully-fleshed-out product idea and drive it to completion
What You Bring
  • 7+ years of industry software engineering experience
  • Mastery of JavaScript: Scoping, closures, contexts, prototypes, classes, etc
  • Expert using React
  • Strong architectural understanding of custom components, custom UI, and cross-browser support
  • Eye for design, product details, and polish
  • Understanding of HTTP and practical debugging techniques
  • Working knowledge of at least one server-side framework and one database system
  • Degree in Computer Science or related Engineering field
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week
Culture and Values
  • Self-motivated problem solver: At Verkada, you will tackle large, complex problems with no clear answers. 
  • Teach and learn: You will learn new technologies while being entrusted with the technical ownership of major systems, and we hope to learn something from you in turn. 
  • Growth mindset: As a fast-growing startup, every day brings new challenges and opportunities for growth, and we want you to grow with us!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
