Senior Software Engineer - Native Application

We're looking for an Android Embedded UI Engineer to build the on-device interface for Verkada's alarm console — a touchscreen device used for real-time security monitoring, alert response, live video streaming, and two-way audio communication. You'll own the UI end-to-end, working at the intersection of software and hardware. This means tight collaboration with the firmware team, a strong instinct for performance on constrained devices, and genuine care for how the product feels to someone using it in a high-stakes moment.

Responsibilities

Build and own the touchscreen UI on the alarm console, from architecture through to polish; Develop real-time experiences for security alerts, live video streaming, and two-way talkdown; Help define technical direction and architecture for on-device UI development

Requirements

6+ years of software engineering experience; Strong Android expertise with hands-on experience building on Android as an embedded device OS; Prior experience shipping embedded UI products — security panels, kiosks, industrial displays, or similar; Solid grasp of performance on constrained hardware and how to build smooth, reliable experiences within those limits

Nice to have

Experience with native Linux UI frameworks such as LVGL or Qt; Background in physical security or IoT products
