Staff Backend Engineer - Licensing & Revenue Platform
Verkada, San Mateo, CA United States +1
The role
The Core Licensing & Devices team owns the layer that turns Verkada's licenses into revenue: a double-entry accounting ledger that reconciles every license into daily revenue recognition. This is the system Finance closes the books on and the one auditors trace, so every entry has to be right. As Verkada scales past millions of devices and the business matures toward tighter reporting and audit requirements, this system moves from important to load-bearing.
We're a small, high-trust, high-autonomy team. We give and receive feedback directly, we learn out loud, and we hold a high bar on both execution and written communication.
What you will do
- Own the double-entry accounting ledger that reconciles licensing into daily revenue recognition — its accounting model, its invariants, and its correctness guarantees under concurrency, retries, and failure.
- Design and lead the systems behind upmarket licensing: pay-as-you-go metering and billing, fixed-term commitments, and the packaging our enterprise customers buy.
