Job description

Overview

Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, 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. Samsara aims to improve safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power the global economy. We work across industries including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing to digitally transform operations at scale.

About the role:

The Risk Intelligence team builds fullstack systems and customer-facing products that power Samsara’s AI-driven safety and risk solutions. Our mission is to transform massive streams of video, telemetry, and contextual data into actionable insights that help fleets reduce accidents, exonerate drivers, and manage operational risk. At scale, this means not only detecting risky driving behaviors but also uncovering complex patterns across vehicles, infrastructure, and environments to provide a holistic view of safety.

As a Senior Software Engineer II on the team, you will design and deliver AI-powered products across web, mobile, and API surfaces that surface new detections and insights at scale. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and ML teams to integrate cutting-edge models into customer workflows, own complex technical problems spanning data pipelines to front-end experiences, and deliver scalable, reliable systems that improve real-world outcomes for fleets globally.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

Responsibilities

• Build and release new features rapidly, validate with customers, and evolve them toward robust, scalable solutions.
• Solve complex problems and own the success of your solutions as you architect, build, test, and deliver fullstack products.
• Build upon skills and knowledge across a range of technologies, such as Go, GraphQL, TypeScript, React, and MySQL (prior experience with these is not required).
• Own the operational health of production systems as we scale to an ever-growing customer base.
• Make an impact on our core architecture, roadmap, and the wider engineering community.
• 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

• 8+ years of experience in software development.
• Proven experience shipping features to customers and iterating based on feedback.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset; able to explain design choices and welcome feedback.
• A growth mindset and enthusiasm around building new skills and expertise.
• Comfortable building end-to-end solutions; preference for frontend or backend is fine, but you should be excited to work across the stack.
• Maintain production systems your team owns and provide operational support when necessary.
• Demonstrated strong interest in AI technologies and experience as an early adopter of AI tools.

An ideal candidate also has

• 5+ years of fullstack experience in a fast-paced environment, ideally contributing to an early-stage product and scaling it for growth and impact.
• Mastery of data modeling and fullstack application architecture at scale.
• Experience deploying LLM-powered systems into production for customer-facing features.
• Experience collaborating effectively on geographically distributed teams.
• Background maintaining software products at scale.
• Familiarity with Go, GraphQL, TypeScript, React, and AWS (a plus, not required).
