Who We Are
Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.
We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.
You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

Why Data?
- Data is the foundation of our go-to-market strategy. It supports all parts of our sales motion, including:
- Creating customer profiles to identify & target high value buyers
- Identifying & facilitating key growth opportunities, e.g., entering markets in previously untapped geographies
- Segmenting our sales team and defining sales representative patches
- Populating and maintaining an accurate universe of buyers
We recognize the importance of data to our scalability and success, and we aim to make it a core competency of our business.
Requirements
-
Technical Mastery & Data Architecture
- Advanced SQL proficiency is a must: You should be comfortable writing complex, performant queries to extract insights from messy, large-scale datasets.
- Analytics Stack: Experience with Python for advanced automation and Looker/Tableau for visualization is highly preferred. You should be able to move a project from raw warehouse data to a polished executive dashboard independently.
Strategic Problem Solving
- High-impact self-starter: You take initiative to move projects forward and operate with high autonomy. You are excited by the challenge of "owning" the data layer of a cross-functional workstream in a fast-paced environment.
- Analytical Rigor: You "nerd out" about data accuracy. You can quickly structure analyses to answer critical business questions and provide the data-driven evidence needed to influence company strategy.
Communication & Operational Excellence
- Stakeholder Management: You bridge the gap between the technical and the non-technical. You can translate a Sales Rep’s "wish list" into technical requirements for Data Engineers and then explain the results back to a business audience.
- Process Documentation: You iterate quickly to find a solution and then have the discipline to document your logic and workflows so they are reproducible and easy for others to understand.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of professional experience in Data Analytics, Data Engineering, or a highly technical Consulting role.
- Academic Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical or quantitative discipline (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or Economics).
