Verkada

Verkada builds cloud-managed physical security systems including video cameras, access control, environmental sensors, and intercoms, all managed through a unified software platform. The company targets mid-market and enterprise customers who want modern, software-first security infrastructure rather than traditional on-premise systems. Verkada has grown rapidly and serves tens of thousands of organisations including schools, hospitals, and offices.

Engineering at Verkada spans embedded systems, computer vision, cloud infrastructure, and the web platform. The company builds both the hardware and software, which makes the engineering environment unusual and broad in scope. The stack includes Python, Go, React, and TypeScript, with significant work in computer vision using PyTorch, real-time video processing, and the device management infrastructure to support tens of thousands of deployed devices. Engineers who want to work across hardware and software will find Verkada interesting.
