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 global economy runs on physical operations, yet the data that powers them remains fragmented and slow. We are building the system of record that connects vehicles, equipment, and sites, creating a central nervous system for the industries that power our world.

You will architect the developer ecosystem that allows our customers and partners to build the next generation of solutions for transport, construction, and utilities, powered by Samsara's data and AI.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Poland or the United Kingdom.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Architect the data nervous system for physical operations, evolving our high-throughput eventing platform into the core data pipeline for customer and internal AI initiatives.
  • Own the strategy and architecture for our serverless compute platform, empowering thousands of developers to run complex logic directly on Samsara's data streams.
  • Spearhead the technical vision for our external APIs, establishing the architectural governance that ensures consistency and scalability across all Samsara products.
  • Operate as a force-multiplier for engineering, mentoring senior engineers and driving technical alignment on our most complex systems.
  • Define the multi-year technical roadmap for our developer platform by partnering directly with product leadership and our largest enterprise customers.

What We Look For: 

  • Proven impact architecting and operating large-scale data streaming systems. You have the scars from building and scaling Kafka systems in production.
  • A builder's mindset for data and AI. You see beyond the event stream and can architect the connection between Kafka, data lakes, and ML infrastructure to unlock new intelligence.
  • Pragmatic expertise in serverless compute. You understand the trade-offs and can design architectures that are powerful for developers and efficient to operate.
  • A history of owning public-facing APIs. You've established the technical vision and governance that enables an entire ecosystem of developers to build with confidence.
  • Intellectual honesty in leadership. You align multiple engineering teams around a complex technical vision and drive it from concept to customer delivery.
  • A drive to raise the standard. Your technical depth and clarity of thought elevate the engineers you work with.

At Samsara, we welcome everyone regardless of their background. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, and other characteristics protected by law. We depend on the unique approaches of our team members to help us solve complex problems and want to ensure that Samsara is a place where people from all backgrounds can make an impact.
