Align your portfolio to Verkada's stack
Verkada's cloud platform is built around distributed systems, device management at scale, and real-time video infrastructure. Before applying, make sure your portfolio or GitHub demonstrates experience in these areas, not just general backend or web development work.
Track Verkada's LCA filings on DOL
The DOL's OFLC disclosure data publishes every Labor Condition Application by employer and job title. Search Verkada's filings to understand which Cloud Software Engineer roles they actively sponsor, which office locations are included, and what wage levels they certify.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Verkada's open roles
Not every Cloud Software Engineer posting at Verkada explicitly mentions visa sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to browse verified sponsorship-confirmed roles at Verkada, so you're applying to positions where the process is already in motion.
Prepare for a technical loop before discussing sponsorship
Verkada's engineering interviews follow a multi-round technical format covering system design and coding. Get through the technical loop before raising sponsorship logistics. Recruiters are more receptive to immigration questions once you've cleared the hiring bar.
Confirm PERM eligibility if targeting a Green Card
If your goal is permanent residence through EB-2 or EB-3, ask Verkada's HR team early whether the Cloud Software Engineer role you're being hired into has a PERM-trackable job description. Roles with narrow, specialized requirements are easier to certify through DOL's PERM process.

Find Cloud Software Engineer at Verkada JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Verkada sponsor H-1B visas for Cloud Software Engineers?
Yes, Verkada sponsors H-1B visas for Cloud Software Engineers. The company has a consistent history of filing H-1B petitions for engineering roles and supports employees through both the annual lottery and, where eligible, cap-exempt pathways. Confirm sponsorship intent with your recruiter during the offer stage, before the April USCIS filing window closes.
How do I apply for Cloud Software Engineer jobs at Verkada?
Apply directly through Verkada's careers page or use Migrate Mate to browse current Cloud Software Engineer openings confirmed for visa sponsorship. Prepare for a technical screening followed by a multi-round interview covering system design and coding. Having relevant cloud infrastructure or distributed systems experience in your application materials strengthens your candidacy before you reach the sponsorship conversation.
Which visa types does Verkada commonly use for Cloud Software Engineer roles?
Verkada sponsors H-1B visas as the primary work authorization pathway for Cloud Software Engineers. The company also supports F-1 OPT and CPT for students in active programs, TN visas for qualified Canadian and Mexican nationals, and immigrant visa categories including EB-2 and EB-3 for candidates pursuing a Green Card through employer-sponsored PERM.
What qualifications does Verkada expect for Cloud Software Engineer candidates?
Verkada typically looks for a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, which also satisfies H-1B specialty occupation requirements. Beyond the degree, strong candidates demonstrate hands-on experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or device-scale software, areas directly relevant to Verkada's physical security platform.
How do I manage my immigration timeline when starting at Verkada?
If you're on F-1 OPT, your start date and authorization period must align with your EAD validity and Verkada's onboarding schedule. For H-1B transfers from another employer, USCIS portability rules allow you to start with Verkada once a petition is filed and receipt notice issued, without waiting for approval. Build in at least 60 days before your current status expires to avoid gaps.
