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.
We are looking to hire a Senior Director of AI Ecosystem & Partner Innovation to lead the technical strategy, execution, and operating model for third-party integrations into the Verkada platform.
This role will own the technical partner ecosystem, working closely with the broader Partner Integrations team to build and maintain strong technical relationships with each integration partner. The leader will ensure partner efforts remain live, reliable, supportable, and actively maintained, with any issues quickly identified, escalated, and corrected.
The Senior Director will define the standards and processes needed to ensure integrations are stable, secure, and continuously validated as both Verkada and partner platforms evolve. This includes tracking deployments, aligning support ownership, managing escalation paths, and ensuring each integration remains reliable through product, API, and code changes.
Internally, this role will closely coordinate with Field and Product leadership to ensure all external partner efforts are aligned to customer needs, product direction, support readiness, and field execution. The goal is to create a fully validated set of partner integrations that are not only technically sound, but also valuable, deployable, and trusted by customers and the field.
The team will also create the tools and frameworks that make it easier for partners to build with Verkada, including developer toolkits, API wrappers, sample code, validation automation, reference architectures, and “art of the possible” demos. These assets should help partners move from concept to MVP quickly while giving Verkada a repeatable model for scaling integrations.
This leader will build and manage a technical team spanning AI workflows, APIs, DevOps automation, partner engineering, and developer experience. The objective is to turn Verkada’s integrations motion into a scalable ecosystem strategy that drives customer value, partner innovation, and platform differentiation.
