Full Job Description
About the Role

Verkada's Connectivity products secure people and property in remote and edge environments. Our Cellular and Wi-Fi Gateways bring Verkada's full platform including threat detection, deterrence, and real-time visibility, anywhere it's needed. Verkada Gateways enable cameras, intercoms, access control, and sensors to be deployed in locations without stable internet or power.

We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to own and grow Verkada's Gateway product line. In this role, your mission is twofold: make gateways the enabling layer that unlocks every unwired Verkada deployment, and build the product depth and business model that grows Gateway into a flagship product.
What You'll Do
  • Own strategy and execution for Verkada's Gateway product line
  • Own and expand the gateway roadmap across reliability, fleet-scale cloud management, and new connectivity options and form factors.
  • 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 improves both customer adoption and Verkada margin
What You Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in product management, preferably in B2B networking, connectivity, embedded systems, or IoT
  • Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar quantitative field. MS, PhD, or MBA optional
  • Proven history of launching and scaling products and businesses. Strong customer intuition, technical depth, and ability to navigate tradeoffs are critical to success in this role.
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (LTE/5G, Wi-Fi, WAN failover, SIM/carrier management), plus foundational knowledge of firmware, device bring-up, and hardware design
  • Ability to build platform and recurring-revenue business models, with a structured approach to ambiguous problems like data plan pricing, carrier economics, attach-rate modeling, and ROI analysis
  • 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

  • Health Saving Account (HSA) with annual employer contributions and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) with tax saving options
