What you'll do

  • 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 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.

  • Own Features End to End: Take full ownership of navigation initiatives from design through production rollout, including follow-up on quality, adoption, and customer impact after launch.

  • Deliver with High Engineering Standards: Write maintainable, well-tested code and hold a high bar in design and code review. Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, with sound judgment. Improve observability, testing, and the systems that keep navigation reliable in production.

What they're looking for

  • Build Across the Product: Design and ship features across mobile, backend services, and web—driver navigation experiences, admin visibility, optimized routing, and safety-focused navigation capabilities.
  • Turn Ambiguity into Action: Clarify what you are building and why: learn from fleet managers and drivers, align with the product team on priorities, define success metrics, plan milestones, and raise risks and tradeoffs before they become surprises.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with engineers, product managers, designers, and partners in Maps, Telematics, and adjacent teams to deliver cohesive navigation experiences end to end.
  • 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
