Engineering Manager – Camera Firmware Platform

The Camera Firmware Platform team owns the foundation that every Verkada camera runs on. While our product firmware teams bring new camera categories to market, this team makes every camera in the fleet, both existing and future models, more reliable, faster, leaner, and more power-efficient.

• Edge Storage: We own the on-camera storage stack that turns every Verkada camera into a self-contained recording device. Our mandate is reliable, accessible, secure, and observable storage of customer video. Footage is preserved instantly across SD cards and raw NAND, even during network outages or sudden power loss, for millions of cameras and petabytes of video. This extends to the backend services that manage retention, cloud backup, and storage health across the fleet.
• Firmware Platform: Building on that foundation, we own the cross-cutting firmware systems underneath every camera feature: boot and shutdown, memory and power management, system state orchestration, IPC, observability, and firmware update. We build these once, for every camera model and SoC, so product teams can move fast without rebuilding the same infrastructure.

As the Engineering Manager for Camera Firmware Platform, you will lead a highly technical team of storage and embedded systems engineers responsible for the reliability, performance, power, and stability of firmware running on a fleet of more than 1.8 million perpetually online devices. You will set the storage and platform roadmap, decide which fleet-wide investments matter most, and turn them into measurable improvements in footage retention, storage endurance, boot time, memory headroom, power draw, and crash rates.
