Engineering Lead, Computer Vision

About VerkadaAt Verkada, we’re rethinking what it means to be physically safe. Today, we build security cameras that detect action, identify danger and help keep people and places safe and secure. Using a combination of software and hardware, we’re transforming an industry that has seen little innovation for decades—and we already support thousands of customers. But this is just the beginning. We envision a world in which security systems feel as seamless and modern as the organizations they protect and our enterprise solution becomes a model for not just business security, but public security as well.
We are actively looking for Computer Vision Engineering Leads (EL) to help grow the team and product. As an EL on the Computer Vision team, you will be the architect, designer and coder of the project. You'll work closely with the product management, software and hardware engineers to make the team's vision a reality. You'll have the opportunity to lead cross-team efforts, mentor your team members and establish engineering best practices across Verkada.

• Potentially support a small to medium sized engineering team on career development;
• Align with product and org objectives, and coordinate with cross-functional teams on delivering key results;
• Define long term technical roadmap for the team;
• Contribute to technical decisions on projects among the product.

Qualifications:

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics or similar technical field of study
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant industry experience
• Deep technical understanding of computer vision and machine learning
• Familiar with state of the art CV/ML models and tools
• Experience technically leading a team and driving technical directions
