Job description

Improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy.

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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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:

As a Senior Software Engineer II at Samsara, you will design and develop features across a broad surface area with a tangible impact on active and future customers. You’ll tackle engineering challenges ranging from architecting data structures for mass data collection to presenting data analytics in intuitive and performant ways on web and mobile.

We use Golang for our backend, Typescript and React for our web client, GraphQL to fetch data from our backend, and React Native for our mobile app. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada.

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 may work on:

• A system that optimizes routes for fleets of vehicles that drive a million miles per week
• Live rendering and animating thousands of vehicles concurrently on country-scale maps
• Video processing and automatically classifying dangerous driving behavior with our internet-connected dashboard camera
• Using driving quality metrics computed from vehicle sensor data to gamify the driver experience
• Creating a driver messaging platform end to end, from bringing up services to staged mobile app rollouts
• 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:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of relevant industry experience in software development.
• Experience designing and architecting large, high-scale systems.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, with a demonstrated ability to manage technical discussions.
• An ability to estimate, communicate, and deliver upon project milestones with your team.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Demonstrated expertise in a technical area with influence across engineering teams
• Contributed heavily to driving significant value to their customers
• Enjoys understanding our users and what would make their day to day processes easier to manage
• Loves shipping features that are immediately used by our customers
• Seeks to iterate on new products based on customer feedback
• Proactive growth mindset and improve on status quo
