Sr Software Engineer I

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.

The Safety Triage & Insights team builds data-driven safety experiences that surface actionable insights, engage drivers directly, and help fleets focus resources where they matter most. We develop the systems, APIs, and customer-facing products that power safety event review, supervisor workflows, driver analytics, and AI-driven experiences across Samsara’s Safety organization. The team is deeply invested in AI, LLMs, and emerging agentic technologies, both in the products we build and in how we engineer them, enabling rapid iteration and highly personalized, insight-driven user experiences.

As a Sr. Software Engineer I on the team, you will lead the design and evolution of systems that sit at the intersection of real-time data processing, AI-powered insights, and customer-facing product experiences. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, ML, and platform teams to build scalable services, intelligent workflows, and next-generation AI capabilities that help organizations move beyond reactive incident review toward proactive, data-informed safety management.
