Samsara

1d • $154,700 - $260,000 • Remote

About The Position

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is at the intersection of hardware, software, AI, and the physical world. The platform processes over 25 trillion data points annually from IoT sensors, cameras, and connected devices across thousands of organizations. The company is early in transforming this data into products that will define how physical operations run and is seeking engineers to build what comes next. Samsara is experiencing rapid growth, with approximately $2 billion in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and growing over 30% year over year. A significant portion of their largest customers utilize two or more products. The fastest-growing divisions are focused on building new products from scratch, applying AI and ML to large real-world datasets, and shipping capabilities that transform how organizations manage equipment, fleets, and daily operations. Much of this work is foundational, operating at a billion-dollar scale. The company is looking for software engineers to define future product shipments. The role is open to various levels, from Senior to Staff+, across platform and product, with flexibility to shape the scope based on individual strengths and interests. This role is remote and open to candidates in the US. Relocation assistance will not be provided.

• Proficiency in modern languages and frameworks (Go, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, or similar).

• Comfort with modern AI-augmented development workflows (Cursor, LLMs, etc.) to multiply your output and accelerate delivery.
• Background working with real-world operational data (telematics, sensor data, work orders, inspections) or a strong interest in learning the domain.
• A proven track record of mentoring senior engineers and influencing engineering culture, standards, and best practices beyond a single team.

• Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to translate ambiguous, real-world problems into clear technical plans and measurable outcomes.
