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:
Samsara’s Telematics team focuses on building both the product and platform for vehicle telematics data. There’s significant complexity here, with trillions of data points processed annually, and a world-class customer experience always in mind.
As a Senior Software Engineer II, you will spearhead the design and development of products and abstractions based on vehicle telematics data. You will lead technical discussions with teammates to identify gaps in our platform and influence the roadmap by setting direction and recommending solutions.
You will collaborate with other teams to make design decisions and understand downstream implications in our product. Given the ownership area of the team, which includes the design and implementation of the core object models powering our platform, this role is backend-leaning but will involve both web and mobile development.
This is a remote position open to candidates in the UK and Poland. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
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:
Lead technical discussions with teammates to identify gaps in our telematics data platform and influence roadmap by setting direction and recommending solutions
Collaborate with other engineering teams to make design decisions and understand downstream implications in our product to ensure a seamless customer experience
Ship features that are immediately used by our customers and iterate based on their feedback
