Senior Product Manager, Access Control Core Hardware and Fleet Management

Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management. 

We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.

You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries. 

We're a Series E startup (valued at $4.5B as of February 2025) taking the physical security industry by storm. In a world that, unfortunately, seems to be getting more and more dangerous, we're building disruptive technology that keeps people and property safe in a privacy-sensitive way. We've quickly risen as the market leader in cloud video security and cloud access control, and the future here is looking extremely exciting.

This role requires that you be on-site 5 days per week at our vibrant headquarters in San Mateo, CA, where collaboration and innovation thrive.
