Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, which allows businesses that depend on physical operations to harness IoT (Internet of Things) data to develop actionable business insights and improve their operations. Founded in San Francisco in 2015, we now employ more than 1,800 people globally and have over 1.5 million active devices. Samsara also went public in December 2021 and we're just getting started.

Recent awards we've won include:

  • #2 in the Financial Times' Fastest Growing Companies in Americas list 2021
  • Named as a Best Place to Work in Built In 2022
  • #19 in the Forbes Cloud 100 2021
  • IoT Analytics Company of the Year in 2022's IoT Breakthrough Winners
  • Forbes Advisor named us the Best Solution for Large Companies - Fleet management software for 2022!

We're driving change in industries that are yet to fully embrace digital transformation. Physical operations make up a massive slice of the global economy but haven't benefited from innovation and actionable information in the way that other sectors have. The potential for scale and impact is huge.

About the role:

As a Software Engineer at Samsara, you will design and develop features across a broad surface area with a tangible impact on active and future customers. You'll tackle engineering challenges ranging from architecting data structures for mass data collection to presenting data analytics in intuitive and performant ways on web and mobile.

You will work on scaling our data ingestion and storage systems to support more and more connected devices, and work with engineers throughout the company to make new types of data analysis possible.
  • Full-stack, Frontend engineers develop user interfaces that present the data collected from thousands of devices in intuitive ways. You will work directly with the design and product teams to identify solutions and iterate quickly based on feedback. The features you build will provide actionable insights for our customers' operations, and may involve anything from design systems to performance engineering.

  • A system that optimizes routes for fleets of vehicles that drive a million miles per week
  • Live rendering and animating thousands of vehicles concurrently on country-scale maps
  • Video processing and automatically classifying dangerous driving behavior with our internet-connected dashboard camera
  • Using driving quality metrics computed from vehicle sensor data to gamify the driver experience
  • Creating a driver messaging platform end to end, from bringing up services to staged mobile app rollouts
