Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Backend Software Engineer Jobs at Verkada Jobs
Align your stack with Verkada's infrastructure
Verkada's backend runs on distributed systems at scale. Before applying, make sure your resume reflects experience with cloud infrastructure, APIs, or data pipelines, the specifics that hiring managers screen for before sponsorship conversations begin.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Backend Engineer roles at Verkada
Verkada posts Backend Software Engineer openings across multiple locations and seniority levels. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for roles at Verkada that match your visa type, so you're not applying to positions without confirmed sponsorship.
Request LCA details during the offer stage
Before signing, ask your recruiter whether the Labor Condition Application will be filed for the specific office location where you'll work. DOL requires the LCA to match your actual worksite, which matters if your role is hybrid or distributed.
Position yourself for EB-2 or EB-3 early in your tenure
Verkada sponsors employment-based Green Cards for engineering roles. If your backend experience leans senior, understand whether your qualifications support an EB-2 advanced degree petition or whether the PERM labor certification process under EB-3 is the more likely path.
Treat TN as a legitimate option if you qualify
Canadian and Mexican nationals in software engineering roles can pursue TN status, which doesn't require an employer petition filed months in advance. If you hold citizenship from either country, confirm with Verkada's HR team that your Backend Engineer role qualifies under the TN computer systems analyst category.

Find Backend Software Engineer at Verkada JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Verkada sponsor H-1B visas for Backend Software Engineers?
Yes, Verkada sponsors H-1B visas for Backend Software Engineer roles. The company has a consistent track record of filing H-1B petitions for engineers across its product and infrastructure teams. If you're currently on F-1 OPT or transferring an H-1B from another employer, Verkada's recruiting team handles sponsorship as part of the standard offer process for qualifying roles.
How do I apply for Backend Software Engineer jobs at Verkada?
You can browse and apply for Backend Software Engineer openings at Verkada through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa sponsorship eligibility so you can confirm sponsorship before applying. Verkada's interview process for backend roles typically includes a recruiter screen, technical assessments covering systems design and coding, and final-round interviews with the engineering team.
Which visa types does Verkada commonly sponsor for Backend Software Engineer roles?
Verkada sponsors H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and employment-based Green Cards including EB-2 and EB-3 for Backend Software Engineer positions. H-1B is the most common path for full-time engineers after OPT. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying software roles without the H-1B lottery requirement.
What qualifications does Verkada expect for Backend Software Engineer roles?
Verkada's backend engineering roles generally require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, which also satisfies the H-1B specialty occupation requirement. In practice, the team looks for experience with distributed systems, backend APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Senior roles may expect prior experience scaling systems in a product-driven environment.
How do I time my application to Verkada around the H-1B cap season?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for the following October 1 start date. If you're on F-1 OPT expiring before October, you'll need enough OPT time remaining to stay authorized while the petition is processed. Verkada typically initiates the H-1B process after an offer is accepted, so targeting a start date that gives HR several weeks before the registration window is practical planning.
