Staff Software Engineer

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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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 The way software gets built is changing fast. AI agents are starting to write, review, and ship code alongside engineers — and our Developer Experience team sits right in the middle of figuring out what that actually looks like at Samsara. We build the tooling and infrastructure that Samsara's engineers use every day. Our "customers" are the people building the products that keep millions of workers safe and physical operations running. When we make their day better, every product team at Samsara benefits. We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help set technical direction for the team. You'd be working on everything from our CI/CD pipelines to the AI coding agents engineers will rely on to do their jobs. It's a small team with a lot of surface area, and the work you do here shows up across the whole engineering org. This role is remote and open to candidates based in the US. You might be a good fit if: You've actually built things with AI coding agents — not just used them. You have opinions about what works, what doesn't, and where this is all heading. You like work where a small change you make ripples out to help a lot of people. You care about what Samsara does. The software we build helps keep grocery shelves stocked, lights on, and workers safe on the job. You're genuinely curious and like learning new things. The tech landscape here moves quickly and we're all figuring it out together. You think of engineers as real people, not tickets. You're happy to sit with them, watch how they work, and dig into the small frustrations that add up. You work well with others. We move faster when we move together. In this role, you'll: 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 Minimum requirements: 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
