[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer @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 engineers who will build what comes next.

We're approaching ~$2B 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

Most of this work is zero-to-one, at billion-dollar scale. We're looking for software engineers who want to define what ships next. Leveling is broad and flexible: we're hiring from Senior through Staff+, across platform and product, and we're open to shaping scope around the right person's strengths and interests. This role is remote and open to candidates residing in the US. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in software design and development, including building and operating production systems at scale.
• Strong full-stack fundamentals.
• Proficiency in modern languages and frameworks (Go, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-org projects from inception through rollout.
• Experience building AI-powered or data-driven products.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A track record of building zero-to-one products or solving hard problems.

Requirements

• Experience shipping AI-powered features in production.
• Comfort with modern AI-augmented development workflows (Cursor, LLMs, etc.).
• 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.
• Side projects, open-source contributions, or other signals of curiosity and drive outside the scope of your day job.

Benefits

• Impact the industries that run our world.
• Build new systems from scratch, not maintain old ones.
• Work where AI meets the physical world.
• Participate in customer interviews and collaborate with product managers and customer success.
• Take ownership of technically complex, mission-critical areas.
• Define and drive technical strategy for new products and platform capabilities.
• Design and ship full-stack features end to end.
• Raise the bar for the engineers around you through code reviews and mentorship.
• Champion Samsara’s cultural principles as we scale globally.
