 ** _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.



 ** _About the IT Team_**

We are a high-functioning and cohesive team providing an amazing customer
experience and focused on opportunities to unlock growth across the company
and doing it all with a keen eye on security. We're here to make work easier
and more efficient for our coworkers, fix what needs fixing, implement and
improve processes, provide automation to increase efficiencies, onboard new
hires at a rapid pace, evaluate and procure new solutions in the software and
hardware worlds, and administer and improve our SaaS stack. As a small team in
a rapidly growing startup, we're always ready to expand our responsibilities
at a moment's notice all while maintaining the white-glove service our fellow
employees deserve.



 ** _About This Role_**

Envision yourself here: You're a smart, hungry, adaptable, calm-under-pressure
IT superhero whose primary goal is to enable all Verkada employees to crush it
on a daily basis. Troubleshooting is your middle name. You can dive into any
nasty tech situation and leave everyone smiling. You love trying out new
software and hardware and staying up-to-date with the latest tech trends in
both the enterprise and consumer worlds. You're always ready to help anyone at
a moment's notice and you know how to handle constantly shifting priorities.
You're a great team player and have opinions to contribute on a wide variety
of topics, but can also get to work without too much oversight if need be. You
enjoy variance in daily tasks, don't mind getting in touch with your customers
in a multitude of communication channels, and getting to know everyone and
their tech needs around the office.



Our ideal candidate has a technical background, has experience in a customer
support or IT admin role, and understands the day-to-day aspects of an IT
organization, especially in a high-growth startup with ever-changing
requirements.

  * Strong knowledge of networking concepts (switching, firewalls, subnetting, wireless technologies, VPNs, LAN/WAN, etc.).
  * Flexible work schedule; we take every opportunity to succeed as a company - sometimes that means early mornings, late nights, and unexpected phone calls and Slack messages outside of typical working hours.
  * Ability to lift 30 lbs over short to medium distances, carry light loads up and down stairs, crouching or crawling as the situation demands.

  

### Desired Skills/Experience
