Backend Infrastructure engineers design and develop the infrastructure that powers Samsara’s IoT platform, used by tens of thousands of customers globally connecting more than 15 thousand hardware assets to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations. You will work on scaling our data ingestion and storage systems to support more and more connected devices and work with engineers throughout the company to make new types of data analysis possible.
2. Full-stack, Front-end engineers develop user interfaces that present the data collected from millions of devices in intuitive ways. You will work directly with the design and product teams to identify solutions and iterate quickly based on feedback. The features you build will provide actionable insights for our customers’ operations and may involve anything from design systems to performance engineering.
3. Full-stack, Backend engineers design and develop features across a broad surface area with tangible impact on active and future customers. You will tackle engineering challenges ranging from architecting data structures for mass data collection to presenting data analytics in intuitive and performant ways on web and mobile.
4. Mobile Infrastructure engineers work on the critical infrastructure behind our React Native application. Your tools will enable feature teams to iterate quickly and empower them to write performant and maintainable code.
5. Embedded Software engineers design, develop, and maintain all on-device software for Samsara's hardware products. You will work on a broad range of embedded components, including applications, middleware, operating systems, and edge AI. This role involves developing critical device functions such as data processing and power management to ensure high performance and reliability in the field. You will collaborate with backend and infrastructure engineers to support efficient data transfer and enable advanced, real-time analytics that directly impact our customers’ operations. The features you build will drive safety, efficiency, and innovation across Samsara’s IoT ecosystem.

We use Golang for our backend, Typescript and React for our web client, GraphQL to fetch data from our backend, and React Native for our mobile app. Direct experience with this stack is not required but experience with similar technologies is strongly encouraged.
