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.
The Global Sourcing team is responsible for all direct procurement associated with our Hardware. Our scope includes all aspects of cost management from FATP to sub-tier supply chain suppliers as well as testing, certification, OPEX and CAPEX. Additionally we are the primary commercial relationship owner and manage all contracts. We leverage a fast paced dynamic development environment with first generation products typically moving from concept to customer delivery quickly. Many work streams are done in parallel across all teams to ensure high quality products are brought to market as soon as possible.
As a Global Sourcing Specialist Intern, you will support direct sourcing strategy and execution for a product line. This includes negotiating contracts, costs (BOM, MVA, Capex, Opex) for both system level and some individual commodities. You will interact with multiple internal and external stakeholders to bring products to market including finding, qualifying, and managing suppliers. We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires that you be on-site at our office in San Mateo, CA 5 days a week.

Pay Disclosure
At Verkada, we want to attract and retain the best employees, and compensate them in a way that appropriately and fairly values their individual contribution to the company. With that in mind, we carefully consider a number of factors to determine the appropriate starting pay for an employee, including their primary work location and an assessment of a candidate’s skills and experience, as well as market demands and internal parity. This estimate can vary based on the factors described above, so the actual starting base pay may be above or below this range. Base pay is also just one component of Verkada’s total rewards package. A Verkada employee may be eligible for additional forms of compensation, depending on their role, including sales incentives, discretionary bonuses, and/or equity in the company in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
