Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is 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. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the role:

As a Senior Software Engineer II on Automation, you will architect and design some of the most critical and forward-facing parts of the Automation Platform. You’ll be helping to set Samsara’s strategy around Event Architecture and re-usable RPCs. You’ll also be helping to ensure our product can scale to production demands while maintaining flexibility in our system for new requirements. The product is in active rollout with high feature velocity, so you’ll have the opportunity to shape how thousands of customers automate their operations — and make Samsara indispensable in the process.

This is a remote role open to candidates residing in Canada.

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.
  • You are a team player: Working on our Samsara Engineering teams requires a mix of independent effort and collaboration. Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win—together.

In this role, you will: 

  • Work with product managers, designers, firmware, and infra engineers to architect, build, test, and deliver full-stack features across front-end, back-end, and mobile. GoLang, GraphQL, Typescript, React, and ReactNative 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
  • Partner with other teams to take in requirements for prioritization and evangelize the platform we’re building
  • 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 industry experience building and operating production software systems.
  • Proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Java, C#, or equivalent). Node is acceptable; Python/Ruby not preferred due to scale concerns.
  • Experience designing and architecting large, high-scale systems
  • A focus on and desire to mentor fellow engineers
  • An ability to estimate, communicate, and deliver upon project milestones with your team
  • Experience with a public cloud such as AWS

An ideal candidate also has:

  • Experience leveraging LLMs or similar for day-to-day coding, eg: Cursor, Claude Code.
  • Experience with workflow engines, state machines, or orchestration platforms (e.g. Temporal, Step Functions, Airflow).
  • Contributed heavily to driving significant value to their customers
  • Curiosity about our customers, and eager to improve their day-to-day experience
  • Loves shipping features iteratively with immediate use by customers
  • A Bachelor’s or higher in Computer Science or related discipline
