Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility.

The Connected Workflows team builds products that modernize and streamline front-line workforce operations. We develop digital workflows that help our customers replace manual inspections, audits, and reporting with automated, tech-assisted solutions. Our platform leverages AI-driven data ingestion, real-time alerts, and powerful automation to minimize routine tasks and maximize impact.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in driving major product initiatives. If you are an engineer who enjoys building, close collaboration with teammates, and is motivated by seeing the direct impact of your work on meeting customer needs, we’d love to hear from you.

You want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature technologies driving scalable innovation for customers across industries driving the world's physical operations.
You are a life-long learner: We have ambitious goals. Every Samsarian has a growth mindset as we work with a wide range of technologies, challenges, and customers that push us to learn on the go.
