Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cloud Engineer Jobs at Verkada Jobs
Align your cloud credentials to Verkada's stack
Verkada's platform runs on AWS and relies heavily on distributed systems, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code. Certifications like AWS Solutions Architect or CKA signal hands-on fluency with the tools their engineering teams actually use.
Target roles that clear the specialty occupation bar
H-1B approval hinges on USCIS confirming your role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Cloud Engineer positions requiring a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field pass this test far more cleanly than generalist infrastructure roles.
Time your OPT application around Verkada's hiring cycles
F-1 students should file their OPT EAD with USCIS no later than 90 days before their program end date. Verkada posts Cloud Engineer roles consistently, so an earlier application gives you a wider window to interview and receive an offer before authorization expires.
Confirm LCA filing before accepting any offer
Before your H-1B can be filed, Verkada's legal team must submit a Labor Condition Application to the DOL certifying your offered wage meets the prevailing rate for Cloud Engineers in San Mateo, California. Ask the recruiter where that process stands during the offer stage.
Use Migrate Mate to identify Verkada's active Cloud Engineer openings
Sponsored roles aren't always labeled clearly on company career pages. Search Migrate Mate to surface Cloud Engineer positions at Verkada filtered by visa type, so you're only applying to roles where sponsorship is already confirmed for your situation.
Understand how PERM affects your Green Card timeline
If Verkada pursues an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card for you, the process starts with PERM labor certification through DOL. For Indian nationals, priority date backlogs mean concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing isn't always possible, so starting early matters significantly.

Find Cloud Engineer at Verkada JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Verkada sponsor H-1B visas for Cloud Engineers?
Yes, Verkada sponsors H-1B visas for Cloud Engineers. The company has an established sponsorship track record for this function, which means its legal and HR teams are familiar with the filing process. You'll still need to clear the H-1B lottery if you're applying for an initial cap-subject petition, but cap-exempt pathways may apply in some situations.
Which visa types does Verkada commonly sponsor for Cloud 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 Cloud Engineers. F-1 OPT is common for recent graduates entering the role, while H-1B covers longer-term employment. Canadian and Mexican nationals working in qualifying engineering roles may also be eligible for TN status.
How do I apply for Cloud Engineer jobs at Verkada?
Apply through Verkada's careers page or find visa-confirmed openings through Migrate Mate, which filters Cloud Engineer roles at Verkada by sponsorship type. Before applying, tailor your resume to reflect cloud infrastructure experience relevant to Verkada's platform, including distributed systems, Kubernetes, and cloud provider services. Recruiters at Verkada typically move through technical screens and system design rounds.
What qualifications does Verkada expect for Cloud Engineer candidates?
Verkada's Cloud Engineer roles generally require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Beyond the degree, practical experience with cloud infrastructure at scale carries significant weight, particularly with AWS, infrastructure-as-code tooling like Terraform, and container orchestration. Experience supporting production systems in a high-growth SaaS or security-tech environment is a strong differentiator.
How do I plan my timeline if I need H-1B sponsorship at Verkada?
If you need an initial H-1B cap-subject petition, Verkada would need to file during the annual registration window in March for an October 1 start date. That means securing your offer several months in advance. If you're already in H-1B status with another employer, Verkada can file an H-1B transfer allowing you to start work as soon as USCIS receives the petition, without waiting for approval.
