I'm Kris, a manager on Access Control at Verkada.

Access Control is a core product at Verkada. We build the systems that power how customers secure and manage their offices, schools, and campuses. Our software unlocks nearly 8 million doors every day. These are mission-critical systems, not internal tools, and reliability and usability matter a lot.

My frontend team builds more than small widgets or forms. We design and deliver entire workflows that bring clarity to complex systems - managing doors, groups, schedules, users - all within a unified, elegant interface. This means working closely with world-class designers (and debating them when needed), but also having the vision and technical depth to lead when design resources are scarce.

I'm looking for a React expert who can bridge craft and leadership: - Lead technically within the frontend team, setting patterns and guiding others. - Collaborate deeply with our web infrastructure and component library teams to shape the building blocks of our platform. - Champion UX - because building secure, intuitive experiences at global scale is as much about design empathy as it is about React/Redux mastery.

This is a team for engineers who want real ownership, visible impact, and problems rooted in production reality. Verkada is pre-IPO with a $5.8B valuation, and the entire engineering org is about 350 people, which keeps scope high and teams relatively autonomous.

I find myself chatting through architectural problems with ChatGPT as I drive (using voice mode). I've continued to learn that way. I don't bother learning little things that I know won't do much for me, but I still do deep research and prototyping (which I can do 5x faster now) using AI as a supplement. I still provide AI significant guidance on the architecture/language/etc of what I want built, and that has come from my 20+ years in software.

This is is the project I was talking about. I prefer using codex day-to-day.

This is another fun project I recently built using AI:

I recently wanted to monitor my vehicle batteries with a cheap BLE battery monitor from AliExpress (by getting the data into HomeAssistant). I could have spent days digging through BlueZ on a Raspberry Pi, or I could use AI and have a working solution an hour later.

Yes, I gave up the chance to manually learn every layer of the stack. I’m fine with that. The goal was not to become a Bluetooth archaeologist. The goal was to solve the problem. AI got me there faster - and let me move on to my next fun project.

Judges require warrants to put a GPS tracker on your car. Now that Flock cameras are so ubiquitous in many cities, this gives them access to the same data without a warrant.

3. Accountability (e.g. A government agency needs a warrant to use your cell phone location data against you).
