Lead Product Manager, Threat Detection & Devices (Alarms)

Overview:

Verkada Alarms enable our customers to detect potential threats, verify through human-in-the-loop monitoring, and respond quickly to ensure the safety of property and people.

We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to lead our Alarms threat detection and devices. In this role, your mission will be to build the most advanced and performant safety detection 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.

Responsibilities:

• Own threat detection and device product roadmap and success for Verkada Alarms, understand customer's detection needs and physical site topologies, and translate those requirements into a landed, successful reality
• Oversee Alarm-related devices from concept to success, working closely with hardware and software engineering to ensure those devices meet customer needs and development timelines
• Direct pricing, go-to-market positioning, and sales training for Alarms devices
• Work closely with our computer vision and AI teams on safety and threat detection, driving requirements for new detection modalities and productizing solutions in our Alarms product line
• Run device Beta programs to ensure successful field testing across disparate customer sites
• Understand the needs of customers and channel partners, ensuring Verkada hardware scales from small to large with simplicity, speed, and flexibility

Requirements:

• 5+ 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
