Job summary

Samsara is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to set technical direction for our developer experience team, touching CI/CD pipelines, AI coding agents, and core tooling used by engineers. This remote role in the US offers impact across the engineering org.

You’ll help shape architecture, mentor engineers, and raise the bar on reliability and developer happiness while aligning with Samsara’s growth and culture.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years building software, with at least 2 years in an architect or technical leadership role.
• 4+ years working on large-scale distributed systems.
• 4+ years leading technical projects across multiple teams.

Responsibilities

• Help 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.
