Software Engineer Ii, New Product

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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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: Our Platform is the foundation of our Connected Operations solution. Think of it as a hub-and-spoke model. All our products — safety, route planning, maintenance, fuel efficiency, EV reporting etc — are the spokes that engage users. But they all connect back to the central hub.

Most organisational platforms — and we're talking about those outside of Samsara — act as a software layer between infrastructure and product. They also tend to function behind the scenes.

Our platform, however, is different. Not only do we work on core infrastructure and platform components, we also develop customer-facing features. Customers log into Samsara through the platform, interacting with everything from the login screen to dashboards, reports, settings, and alerts. Regardless of the product, the platform is the central interface for insights and management.

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer in the Platform team, you’ll own the systems you build, shape products that prevent crashes and emissions, and create world-class systems at scale. You’ll take full technical ownership of features used by thousands of fleets worldwide, solving real-world problems that cut CO₂ and keep people safe. Work with product managers, designers, firmware and infrastructure engineers to design, build, test, and deliver end-to-end products. You’ll develop skills across multiple technologies and own the production systems in your domain.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States. 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:

• Work with product managers, designers, firmware, and infra engineers to architect, build, test, and deliver full-stack features across front-end, back-end, and mobile. GoLang, GraphQL, Typescript, React, and ReactNative are some of the components of our technology stack. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.
• Be responsible for maintaining the production systems that your team owns and provide operational support.
• Help build the culture of the team and make it an enjoyable place to work.
• Solve problems that enable our product for our global customers.
• Partner with other teams to take in requirements for prioritization and evangelize the platform we’re building.
• 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:

• 2+ years of professional experience building customer-facing applications
• Strong programming/coding fundamentals in a language such as Java, Python, Golang, or TypeScript
• Experience designing and architecting large, high-scale systems
• An ability to estimate, communicate, and deliver upon project milestones with your team

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience with a public cloud such as AWS
• Familiarity with multiple tiers, like React Frontends and Microservices
• Contributed heavily to driving significant value to their customers
• Curious about our customers, and is eager to improve their day-to-day experience
• Loves shipping features that are immediately used by our customers
• Seeks to iterate on new products based on customer feedback
