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. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the role:

The Mobile Platform team owns the frameworks and tooling that enable other developers at Samsara to build and deploy mobile applications for our customers. Our apps are used by over 500k daily active users and we’re excited to work towards growing that number to 1M DAU as we support teams across the company in building mobile-first customer experiences. Our team builds and maintains a variety of infrastructure including reusable UX components and design systems, SDKs, continuous integration systems, monitoring tools, and networking and persistence layer frameworks. The systems we own are leveraged across multiple applications and business units and impact teams across the company.

We use React Native, Typescript and Redux for our mobile apps, Golang for our backend, and GraphQL to communicate between them. This position is fully remote.

This is a remote role open to candidates residing in the US.

You should apply if:

You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
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.
You believe customers are more than a number: Samsara engineers enjoy a rare closeness to the end user and you will have the opportunity to participate in customer interviews, collaborate with customer success and product managers, and use metrics to ensure our work is translating into better customer outcomes.
You are a team player: Working on our Samsara Engineering teams requires a mix of independent effort and collaboration. Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win—together.

In this role, you will:

Propose, design, implement, and document shared components/frameworks for use across multiple applications within our ecosystem.
Consult with and mentor other engineering teams to guide them through mobile-specific concerns as they plan and build customer-facing features.
Ensure a top-quality developer experience by improving the reliability and usability of our continuous integration, metrics collection, and mobile build systems.
Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.

Minimum requirements for the role:

4+ years of fullstack experience developing and delivering enterprise software.
1+ years of experience working on a mobile-focused team.
1+ years of experience working with either React or React Native in a professional setting.
