About the Team
Alerts are an important part of the Verkada ecosystem and our customers rely on alert notifications to stay on top of live events such as persons of interest entering buildings, if a door was forced open after hours or simply knowing when to let the delivery person in. The Alerts and Operations team is responsible for building and maintaining the end-to-end systems for Events, Alerts and Notifications, processing upwards of 500 million events weekly from over a million devices worldwide.
Our systems process real-time events from Verkada's global device fleet, delivering intelligent, actionable alerts through multiple channels including email, SMS, push notifications, and webhooks.
In 2025, we launched Operations, a suite of features designed for customers monitoring critical infrastructure with dedicated security teams, starting with enhanced collaboration tools and expanding integration capabilities.
