About the Role

Our team owns the Events and Notifications portion of Command, Verkada’s user portal. Our customers rely on our notifications to stay on top of live events, e.g., gatherings that could increase the spread of COVID-19, persons of interest entering buildings or simply knowing when to let the delivery person in. Whether our user is a security guard or an entrepreneur on the go, we want to make it easy for them to keep their spaces safe.

What You'll Do
  • Build scalable systems capable of handling high traffic from our security cameras deployed around the world. 
  • Own and maintain a public API that our customers use to pull historical footage. 
  • Develop internal tools to help our engineering and marketing teams. 
  • Build back end applications from end-to-end with an ‘owner’s’ mentality. 
  • Communicate with engineering teams throughout the organization to build world class products.
What You Bring
  • Degree in Computer Science or similar field. 
  • 5+ 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. 
  • Some experience with Kubernetes would be a plus.
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
