• 3+ years in developer experience, CI/CD and/or platform engineering-focused teams.
• Experience building AI workflows and orchestration systems or other AI harnesses.
• Proven track record architecting CI/CD systems, build/deploy platforms, and automated workflows.
• Experience with large-scale enterprise software applications and DevEx SDLC.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or similar).
• Experience implementing AI-driven automation across the SDLC to reduce friction.
• Proficient in Go or Python, focused on infra, deployment, and operations.
• Experience coordinating multiple AI agents at scale.
• Strong leadership and direction setting; visionary tech-lead mindset.
• Nice-to-have: experience with FedRamp/StateRamp compliance.

Responsabilidades

• Help scale in-house CI/CD systems to support a rapidly growing engineering team.
• Reduce tech debt with efficient AI workflows and safe AI deployments.
• Design deployment safeguards to protect production at scale with AI monitoring.
• Build observability, evaluation, and feedback for AI-driven automation.
• Be a thought leader in using AI to increase productivity while ensuring safety and quality.
• Redefine the outer loop of the SDLC with AI-native workflows for throughput and reliability.
• Push AI capabilities further by turning experiments into platforms used company-wide.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

## About the roleWho we are Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations(TM) 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 is hiring a Senior Software Engineer II to join our Developer Experience team within the larger Developer Experience organization.We are responsible for the 'outer-loop' of the SDLC, with a dotted line to our sister team Dev Agents, who is responsible for the 'inner-loop'. We are building an AI-enabled software factory that transforms how Samsara moves code from pull request to production. We use AI to eliminate repetitive steps, shorten feedback loops, and help engineers spend more time on ensuring intent.Our systems provide AI-assisted PR auto-approvals, risk-aware reviews, and automated workflows that help changes become merge-ready. We are extending that intelligence through CI and CD with AI-assisted deployment checks, production validation, and automatic rollbacks. Our goal is to enable our engineers to scale out their productivity by making the 'outer-loop' autonomous while keeping it safe, observable, and reliable by default.We tackle this ambitious goal from two different angles. First, we ensure our agents have the most context and their own sandbox to reduce the amount of guessing an agent needs to do in order to reach its result. Second, we ensure production is bulletproof, such that the blast radius of any issue is as minimal as possible.Our north star motto is \"Merge and forget\". This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.In this role, you will: Help scale our in-house CI/CD systems to meet the needs of a rapidly more efficient engineering organization and increasing pull-request throughput. Reduce tech debt using efficient AI workflows that would otherwise be cost prohibitive in a non-AI workflow. Design and build deployment safeguards that protect production at scale, making use of AI to monitor and fix issues.Build the observability, evaluation, and feedback systems used to improve our AI-driven automation. Serve as a thought leader for using AI to increase engineering productivity while maintaining a high bar for safety, quality, and signal over AI-generated slop. Redefine the outer loop of the SDLC by designing AI-native workflows that increase engineering throughput without compromising reliability.Push the threshold of what is possible with AI by turning emerging capabilities into safe, observable, and production-ready engineering systems. Partner with product engineering teams to reduce operational toil, and make safe, AI-enabled delivery practices easy to adopt across the company. Ensuring their specific team needs are met.Help keep Samsara at the cutting edge of AI-assisted software development by experimenting boldly, learning quickly, and converting successful experiments into platforms used across the company.
