Job summary

Samsara is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to define the technical direction for our developer platform and AI coding agents. You’ll impact CI/CD, build systems, and tools used by thousands of engineers across the organization.

You’ll lead cross‑team efforts, mentor engineers, and partner with leadership to balance bets. This remote role is open to US-based candidates and aligns with our long‑term growth mindset and customer-focused culture.

• 4+ years working on large-scale distributed systems
• 4+ years leading technical projects across multiple teams

Responsibilities

• Shape the technical direction of our developer platform — CI/CD, build systems, and the AI agents engineers interact with daily
• Design and build AI agents that take real work off engineers’ plates: coding, code review, test generation, release automation, and incident response
• Scale our tooling so it can keep up as the engineering org grows, without sacrificing reliability or developer happiness
• Standardize tools and practices so good ideas spread instead of getting reinvented on every team
• Raise the technical bar through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship
• Partner with engineering leadership on the bets worth making, and be honest about tradeoffs
• Represent Samsara externally when it makes sense — talks, open source, helping us become a place great engineers want to work
