Lead Product Manager, Edge Products (Gateways & Security Trailers)
Verkada · San Mateo, United States · 1mo ago
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
Physical AI only goes as far as power and the internet can reach. Verkada's Connectivity products push that boundary, securing people and property in remote and edge environments. Our team brings Verkada's AI threat detection, deterrence, and operational insights anywhere you need them, allowing our cameras and other security solutions to be deployed in locations without existing internet or power.
We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to own Verkada's edge products: the Gateway product line and the hardware/software platform behind our Security Trailers. Your mission is to bring network + power to any device, anywhere, and make edge products the backbone of physical AI beyond the building.
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 strategy and execution for Verkada's Cellular and Wi-Fi Gateway product line and trailer platform
- Grow and expand the gateway portfolio including advanced reliability options, fleet-scale cloud management, and new form factors that provide edge connectivity and power
- Deliver the trailer platform's core promise: continuous off-grid uptime with zero site infrastructure. Push solar, battery, and cellular intelligence until the trailer runs itself. Then, expand the platform into new form factors and use cases!
- Partner with product lines across Verkada (remote cameras, security trailers, transportation, intercoms, access) to deliver connectivity-as-a-service and drive ecosystem attach
- Define data plan and pricing strategy that provides easy, fast, affordable data to our customers
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience in product management, preferably in B2B networking, connectivity, or IoT hardware
- 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
- Excited to roll up your sleeves and get out of the office. You'll spend time with installers, integrators, and customers deploying in unwired environments. You'll use that insight to shape the product!
- Able to build platform and recurring-revenue business models. You bring a structured mindset to ambiguous problems, from data plan pricing and carrier economics to attach-rate modeling and ROI analysis
- 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
- Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (LTE/5G, Wi-Fi, WAN failover, SIM/carrier management) and power systems (solar, batteries, PoE), plus foundational knowledge of firmware, device bring-up, and hardware design
