[Hiring] Manager II, Software Engineering @Samsara

Role Description

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) sits at the center of hardware, software, AI, and the physical world. The platform processes 25+ trillion data points annually from IoT sensors, cameras, and connected devices across thousands of organizations, and that dataset is compounding: it grew from 4 trillion to 25+ trillion in four years. We’re still early in turning that data into the products that will define how physical operations run, and we’re hiring the leaders who will build the teams that build what comes next.

We’re at ~$2.1B ARR growing 30%+ year over year, with 96% of our largest customers on two or more products. The fastest-growing divisions at Samsara are tackling the hardest, most ambiguous problems at the company:

• Building new products from scratch
• Applying AI and ML to massive real-world datasets
• Shipping capabilities that change how organizations maintain equipment, manage fleets, and run day-to-day operations

We’re looking for Engineering Managers who want to define what ships next by building and leading great teams. You’ll manage engineers across platform and product, and we’re open to shaping team scope around the right person’s strengths and interests. This role is remote and open to candidates residing in the US or Canada. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
