Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Samsara is a connected operations cloud company that uses IoT data to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of physical operations. The Senior Software Engineer will define and build AI-powered products and platform capabilities, owning technically complex areas and delivering full-stack solutions from backend services and APIs to customer-facing interfaces.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of technically complex, mission-critical areas and run with them. We want to point you in a direction and show up to the demo meeting impressed, not spend our weeks managing the details
- Define and drive technical strategy for new products and platform capabilities, from backend services and APIs to the customer-facing UI
- Design and ship full-stack features end to end. You'll work across backend, frontend, and potentially mobile to deliver AI-powered products that solve real operational problems
- Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to translate ambiguous, real-world problems into clear technical plans and measurable outcomes
- Build and scale the systems behind AI-driven products, including data ingestion, APIs, and the workflows that put intelligence into the hands of operators
- Raise the bar for the engineers around you through code reviews, design reviews, technical mentorship, and by setting a standard for quality, velocity, and craft
- 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
Skills

- * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

- * Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-org projects from inception through rollout, including managing ambiguity, driving alignment, and delivering measurable impact

- * Strong communication skills and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
- * A track record of building: zero-to-one products, systems you left in a meaningfully better place, or hard problems you refused to let stay unsolved
- * Experience shipping AI-powered features in production, whether that's LLM-based products, agentic workflows, recommendation systems, or other customer-facing AI
- * 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
- * Side projects, open-source contributions, or other signals of curiosity and drive outside the scope of your day job
