## Description

We are a small, dynamic team focused on building intelligent cloud-managed Intercom systems. 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 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!
