About the role:

We value aligning small teams with customer use cases and giving the independence needed to quickly deliver impactful solutions. 

We’re a cross-functional product team that designs, develops and maintains the solutions that keep the world moving. This can vary from helping our European customers remain compliant with the numerous EU regulations that govern their HGV driver’s activities, to helping our global customers reduce the amount of fuel they consume by coaching for better driver behaviour. 

Primarily operating across web and mobile, we collaborate closely with product managers, product designers and firmware engineers to build out our feature sets.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature technologies driving scalable innovation for customers across industries driving the world’s physical operations.
• You are a life-long learner: We have ambitious goals. Every Samsarian has a growth mindset as we work with a wide range of technologies, challenges, and customers that push us to learn on the go.
• You believe customers are more than a number: Samsara engineers enjoy a rare closeness to the end user and you will have the opportunity to participate in customer interviews, collaborate with customer success and product managers, and use metrics to ensure our work is translating into better customer outcomes.

Golang, GraphQL, Typescript, React and React Native are some of the components of our technology stack. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.
• Be responsible for maintaining the production systems that your team owns and provide operational support.
• Help build the culture of the team and make it an enjoyable place to work
• Solve problems that enable our product for our global customers
• 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
