Full Job Description

Who We Are

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

The Why: Verkada's product suite is expanding rapidly. We need a Lead Designer to own the "source of truth" for our digital language. You will bridge the gap between our UX designers and our frontend engineering teams, ensuring that our hardware-software interface remains cohesive, accessible, and polished.

What You'll Do

Architecture: Define and maintain the core Figma component library, tokens, and documentation.
Scale: Create scalable systems that work across responsive web, mobile, and specialized hardware interfaces/touch devices.
Governance: Establish the process for how new components are proposed, vetted, and integrated by the broader UX team.
Advocacy: Act as a bridge between Design and Engineering to ensure pixel-perfect implementation and technical feasibility.
Product Design: Build, test interactive components and prototypes. Pinch hit as needed on cross-product experiences.

What You Bring

7+ years of experience in Product Design, with 4+ years dedicated specifically to Design Systems
Expert-level Figma proficiency (Auto-layout, Variables, Prototyping).
Deep understanding of frontend development technologies and accessibility (WCAG) standards.
Experience coordinating between Figma and Storybook or similar tool
A portfolio demonstrating polished visual design and a systemic way of thinking.
Technical/UX writing: excellent sensibility in naming things (e.g. components) in a system context
Ability to speak expertly about every layer: interaction, visual, motion, writing, etc.

Nice to Have

Icon design: You can create and maintain an icon library
Motion design: You can create custom animations (Lotties, etc.) that add clarity and delight
Illustration: You can create bespoke assets that give a brand personality.
