About the role

  • We are looking to hire a Principal Architect, AI Ecosystem & Partner Integrations to define the technical architecture, integration patterns, and development standards for third-party integrations into the Verkada platform.
  • This role will work closely with the broader Partner Integrations team to support and maintain strong technical relationships with each integration partner. The Principal Architect will help ensure partner integrations are well-designed, stable, secure, supportable, and continuously validated as both Verkada and partner platforms evolve.
  • A key responsibility will be establishing the technical standards and best practices used across Verkada's partner integration ecosystem. This includes source control standards, code review practices, API usage guidelines, documentation expectations, security practices, reusable design patterns, testing requirements, and overall development best practices. The Principal Architect will also help drive these standards throughout the Field organization so customer-facing technical teams are building consistent, supportable, and scalable solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Provide senior technical architecture and guidance for third-party integrations into the Verkada platform, helping partners and internal teams design integrations that are stable, scalable, secure, and supportable.
  • Build "hello world" demonstrations, reference applications, and "art of the possible" examples that partners and Verkada SEs can use to showcase what is possible with Verkada APIs and AI-enabled workflows.
  • Establish and maintain technical standards for partner integration development, including source control practices, code review expectations, API usage guidelines, documentation requirements, testing standards, and development best practices.
  • Work closely with integration partners to identify API gaps, integration friction, scalability concerns, and opportunities to improve the developer experience.
  • Partner with Product teams to translate integration learnings into product enhancements, API improvements, roadmap feedback, and more scalable integration patterns.
  • Own technical validation of partner integration designs and software, where appropriate, to ensure integrations are efficient, reliable, and do not create unnecessary stress on API transaction rates or platform performance.
  • Drive adoption of reusable integration patterns and coding standards across partners, Partner Integrations, and the Verkada Field community.
  • Help make Verkada the easiest physical security platform for third parties to integrate with by improving technical patterns, partner tooling, API usability, and field-ready examples.
  • Build technical presentations and enablement materials that explain the value, use cases, architecture, differentiation, and technical operation of each integration for consumption by the Verkada Field and partners.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in building API level integrations between companies
  • Ability to work with many internal and external parties at the same time in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with a strong sense of accountability and adaptability.
