Our Legal team embodies Samsara’s core values of focusing on customer success, building for the long term, adopting a growth mindset, being inclusive, and winning as a team.

We want you to be a force-multiplier, making those around you more effective. You have strong communication and interpersonal skills and are comfortable taking on new challenges. You focus on the details, and you also have the broad vision to bring large and multi-stepped projects to completion.  

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.

Flexible Working 

At Samsara, we have adopted a flexible way of working, enabling teams and individuals to do their best work, regardless of where they’re based.

If the role is not required to be in a specific location, Samsara will move forward with the remote location that works best for the business. All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company.
