Senior Product Manager, New Alarms Product

About Verkada

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.

About The Role

Verkada Alarms enable our customers to detect potential threats using AI and sensor technology, verify those events, and respond quickly to ensure the safety of property and people. We are looking for a Product Manager to lead a new line of business. In this role, your mission will be to build the most advanced and performant detection and response system in the industry. You will grow our suite of traditional and AI powered sensors, and build out solutions which support everything from retailers managing hundreds of small stores to manufacturing with massive one million square foot warehouses – and everything in between. We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires you to work onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA.

What You'll Do

• Own new product hardware and software product roadmap and success for Verkada, understand customers’ detection needs and physical site topologies, and translate those requirements into a landed, successful reality.
• Oversee product development from concept to success, working closely with hardware and software engineering to ensure those devices meet customer needs and development timelines.
• Manage relationships with regulatory and compliance entities to best understand how to meet their requirements in various jurisdictions.
• Direct pricing, go-to-market positioning, and sales training for new Alarms devices.
• Understand the needs of customers and channel partners, ensuring Verkada hardware scales from small to large with simplicity, speed, and flexibility.

What You Bring

• 4+ years of experience in product management, preferably in B2B.
• Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar quantitative field. MS, PhD, or MBA optional.
• Proven history of launching and scaling hardware and/or embedded systems products.
• Strong customer intuition, technical depth, and ability to navigate tradeoffs are critical to success in this role.
• Ability to lead across strategy and execution. We pride ourselves in sweating the details and search for this in candidates.
• Real passion for craftsmanship and product details. If you’ve spent days retrofitting your house with the latest smart home technology, you’ll like it here.
• Foundational understanding of firmware, networking, device bring-up, electrical, and mechanical design aspects of hardware.
