The Role

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:

The Platform Quality Engineering team works with teams across Samsara’s Cloud Platform to ensure mobile, web, and API products function with high quality. The team’s goal is to cultivate a quality culture that produces best in class product reliability, usability, and performance across all of our platform development teams.

We're looking for a self-driven, experienced QE for our team who has a real passion for quality, and strives to innovate and try new things, incorporating continuous improvement of testing methods. Someone who has the quality mindset and can find all the ways to ensure our products are high quality and has the motivation and experience to automate tests to make it easy to catch bugs quickly.

  • 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: 

  • Be a part of a development team, quickly understand the product, the architecture and come up with a plan to test/validate functionality, and identify and target weaknesses
  • Be a part of the development process, collaborating with the engineering and product teams to discover details of proposed functionality, spotting gaps/conflicts and understanding upcoming work
  • Rapidly diagnose issues and perform root cause analysis with backend, mobile, and fullstack developers
  • Execute manual and automated test plans across the backend, mobile and web
  • Develop test fixtures using a hands-on approach to shift from a manual end-to-end testing environment to an automated one.
  • Design, write and deliver high quality test fixtures, frameworks and build tools to production standards as part of team sprints
