Engineering at Verkada
Our engineering team works cross functionally in pod like teams on different projects that last from a week to a quarter. The feature teams work with designers and other engineers to complete the feature to spec. The larger web team meets weekly to discuss estimates for the following week and ends with engineers demoing their work. Jira is used for our task management and Github is our VCS.
Interfacing with physical devices creates unique technical challenges that is unique from most front-end development roles.
