We see a profound opportunity for data to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of operations, and hope you consider joining us on this exciting journey. 

About the role:

Samsara is seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer to join our Infrastructure Platform team. The Infrastructure Platform team's goal is to accelerate product velocity by increasing developer productivity, simplifying the problems of scale, and providing built-in resiliency & security. We achieve this by providing easy-to-use, self-service, secure by default, efficient, and reliable developer and operator capabilities via infrastructure, automation, tooling, & education. We create the foundations that our product teams build upon to rapidly experiment and iterate on new products and features.

You’ll be a thought leader on a team that maintains a catalog of products we provide to the rest of engineering, like storage, compute, orchestration, and observability. You’ll make decisions with a significant impact on Samsara. There is a lot of work to do to make Samsara engineers’ work easier and our platform even more reliable than it is today, and we’d love for you to be part of it. We’re close to the people using our systems, so we constantly get feedback that we can use to make them better.

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: 

  • Lead organization-wide projects and develop tools that improve how we deploy, orchestrate, scale, and monitor hundreds of microservices and databases.
  • Architect and coordinate changes to essential production systems. e.g. the highly available real-time streaming of data from millions of connected devices.
  • Identify and guide prioritization of opportunities for improvement to our infrastructure
  • Contribute ideas and feedback that help teams improve processes and architecture.
  • Increase visibility and knowledge of operational best practices to raise the bar across the company.
  • Act as a multiplier for the team, elevating the impact and output of every team member
  • Influence the vision and roadmap for infrastructure to support our rapid growth.
  • Represent Samsara in external-facing forums: writing on our engineering blog (https://www.samsara.com/blog/category/engineering-at-samsara/), speaking at conferences, collaborating with vendors.
  • 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 this role:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of experience on infrastructure-focused teams.
  • Mastery of programming/coding practices.
  • Expertise working with web services at massive scale deployed on Cloud providers such as AWS or Azure.
  • Is an expert in writing high quality, performant and maintainable code in a modern programming language.
  • Knows their way around a UNIX shell and a Linux operating system.

An ideal candidate also:

  • Has experience working with processes that scale well for a team of 300+ engineers
  • Has experience working at scale, transforming engineering infrastructure to support 10x growth in customer size and volume, raising the bar for reliability and performance.
  • Has experience reshaping infrastructure, and influencing a company’s infrastructure and platform strategy.
  • Enjoys leading and mentoring engineers to think about systems - their life cycles, edge cases, and failure modes.
  • Enjoys enabling cross functional collaboration between product, finance, and engineers with different focuses (frontend, mobile, firmware, computer vision, ML)
