Frontend (Web) Engineering Intern
About Verkada
At 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.
The Role

You will have opportunities to work across the full software stack and collaborate cross functionally to build the latest iterations of Verkada’s flagship software enabling our best-in-class security systems.
The Frontend (Web) team is responsible for Verkada's front-end applications which help deliver mission-critical video from our cloud-connected cameras to our customers 24/7. This position involves working heavily in JavaScript and Typescript as well as interacting with our computer vision and video APIs.

Some current and future example intern projects:
- Work with computer vision engineers to experiment with machine learning and AI data models and applications.
- Maintain the offline processing queue for reliably generating video exports in the face of unreliable remote connections.
- Specify and add API endpoints to change camera image tuning properties.
- Work with real-time data connections between camera → cloud → user.
- Maintain and implement testing automation and testing frameworks.
- Maintain high-performance, multiplexing video transcoding services.
- Work cross-functionally to solve problems outside of your normal scope.
