Antler; United States; Remote; USD 162,000 - 290,000; Full time

Job summary

Samsara is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to set the technical direction for our Developer Experience team. You'd work on CI/CD pipelines, AI coding agents, and the tooling engineers rely on daily.

It's a small team with broad surface area, and your work will scale across the engineering org, mentoring others and shaping architecture for reliability and speed while supporting a remote-first culture in the United States.

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.
• Strong programming and design fundamentals.
• 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
• Live out our cultural principles: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team
