Technical Support Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

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.

• “A benefit of being a TSE at Verkada is about being a part of a fast-growing company. You learn about the latest products deeply and learn how to effectively communicate what you have learned in an easy-to-understand way for customers: ‘If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.’ Albert Einstein” - Daniel, TSE Intern, London
• “After training (which feels a lot like university lectures) you spend time in queue, which is basically being on-call for the next chat/call/email that comes in. When a customer needs something, whether that’s information about a product, how to set up that product, or that product having a bit of a moment, you are the one who gets to be the source of truth for that person. Being able to communicate this to them in a reasonable amount of time is paramount to doing well in this role” - Tedrick, TSE Intern, HQ
• “This internship has given me a lot to think about in terms of career goals. I would say in particular this internship is a great way to build your connections for the Silicon Valley area if your goal is to work in the Tech space. It’s also given me a unique perspective and understanding of enterprise equipment. It serves as a great launching point for your career.” - Thomas, TSE Intern, HQ
