Intercom is our second newest major product line and is off to the best start of any product in Verkada's history. Our Intercom allows customers to receive calls from anywhere - at their desk or on their phone - with rich video and 2-way audio. And we have a lot more to build. We consider our team a startup within a startup, with a large 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, startups, and delivering real customer value * You develop a vision for the future, and set the technical architecture for an entire product line * You think about delivering best-in-class products and experiences - not features * You can take a less-than-fully-fleshed-out product idea and drive it to completion * 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! ## Related Videos - [Unleashing the Full Potential of the Arm Architecture – Write Once, Deploy Anywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/940-unleashing-the-full-potential-of-the-arm-architecture-write-once-deploy-anywhere) - [Transforming Education: A Journey from interactive Markdown to Remote-Labs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/941-transforming-education-a-journey-from-interactive-markdown-to-remote-labs) - [The best of two worlds - Bringing enterprise-grade Linux to the vehicle](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/67-the-best-of-two-worlds-bringing-enterprise-grade-linux-to-the-vehicle) - [Hello JARVIS - Building Voice Interfaces for Your LLMS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1641-hello-jarvis-building-voice-interfaces-for-your-llms) - [Local Development Techniques with Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/166-local-development-techniques-with-kubernetes) - [Raise your voice!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/10-raise-your-voice) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
