Who can apply?
- The Backend Software Engineering Intern 2027 posting asks for a bachelor's or master's in computer science or a similar field, graduating by June 2028.
- It asks for familiarity with Python or Go, distributed systems, operating systems, AWS and Docker, and prior internship experience developing and launching products.
- Interns must work on site at Verkada's headquarters in San Mateo, California, during winter or summer 2027.
The backend role lists prior internship experience launching products, a high bar for a first internship; read the embedded and frontend postings too.
Dates, pay & program timing
The backend posting lists $55 to $65 an hour plus a monthly housing stipend. Verkada says it sponsors and takes over sponsorship of employment visas for the role and will make every reasonable effort to obtain a visa if it makes an offer.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
The backend posting lists prior internship experience launching products. If you have it, show what you shipped and its impact; if not, a personal or club project that real users relied on, deployed with Docker or on AWS, is the closest equivalent.
Verkada builds connected hardware, so systems knowledge helps across roles. Mention operating-systems coursework or a project that dealt with networking or concurrency. This is our suggestion, not Verkada's process.
