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:

We’re looking for a motivated full stack Software Engineer to join our Safety Events and Workflows team. Samsara’s safety event platform integrates advanced sensor data, data analytics, and cutting-edge AI to enable customer and driver workflows that ensure safe driving behavior. This role calls for a solid grasp of software engineering practices, effective communication abilities, and a keenness to learn and collaborate with a team of skilled engineers. You will design and develop features across a broad surface area with a tangible impact on current and future customers.

This is a remote position 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:

Solve complex problems and own the success of your solutions as you architect, build, test, and deliver full-stack products.
Communicate, collaborate, and develop with engineers, platform/infrastructure teams, product managers, designers, and support teams.
Build upon skills and knowledge across a range of technologies, such as Go, GraphQL, Typescript, React, and MySQL. Previous experience with these technologies is not required.
Own the operational health of production systems as we build for the future scale of an ever-growing customer base.
Make an impact on our core architecture, roadmap, and the wider engineering community.

Minimum requirements for the role:

1-3 years of experience in software development.
Experience shipping features that are used by customers and iterate on customer feedback to inform what to deliver next.
Strong communication skills and a desire to collaborate. You can explain why you build something a certain way and be open to suggestions from other engineers and stakeholders.
A growth mindset and excitement around building new skills and expertise.
Should be a quick learner and operate with minimum supervision.
Comfort with building out end-to-end solutions. A preference for front-end or back-end development is okay, but you’ll need to be happy working across the stack.
Assist in maintaining the production systems your team owns and provide operational support when necessary.
Utilize logs and metrics for tracking down and investigating bugs, ensuring the robustness and reliability of our systems.

An ideal candidate also has:

1+ years of full stack experience working in a fast-paced environment and contributing to an early-stage product.
Experience with taking LLM systems to production.
Effectively collaborated on a geographically distributed team.
Maintain software products at scale.
Experience in Go, GraphQL, Typescript, React, and AWS is a plus.
