Staff Software Engineer

Improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy. Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations.

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: Samsara sits at the center of hardware, software, AI, and the physical world. The platform processes 25+ trillion data points annually from IoT sensors, cameras, and connected devices across thousands of organizations. We're still early in turning that data into the products that will define how physical operations run, and we're hiring the engineers who will build what comes next.

We're looking for software engineers who want to define what ships next. Leveling is broad and flexible: we're hiring from Senior through Principal, across platform and product, and we're open to shaping scope around the right person's strengths and interests. This role is remote and open to candidates residing in Canada.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world. The software you build will have real-world stakes: helping keep the lights on, getting food into grocery stores, keeping workers safe.
• You want to build, not maintain. Samsara is in full growth mode. You'll own entire problem spaces end to end, with the autonomy to set direction from day one.
• You want to work where AI meets the physical world. Samsara has spent a decade building the largest proprietary dataset for physical operations.
• You believe customers are more than a number. Samsara engineers have a rare closeness to end users.
• You have the curiosity and drive to figure it out. We're looking for people who take pride in their work and get things done at all costs.

In this role, you will:

• Take ownership of technically complex, mission-critical areas and run with them.
• Define and drive technical strategy for new products and platform capabilities.
• Design and ship full-stack features end to end.
• Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to translate ambiguous, real-world problems into clear technical plans and measurable outcomes.
• Build and scale the systems behind AI-driven products.
• Raise the bar for the engineers around you through code reviews, design reviews, technical mentorship.
• Champion and embed Samsara’s cultural principles as we scale globally.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in software design and development.
• Strong full-stack fundamentals.
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-org projects.
• Experience building AI-powered or data-driven products.
• Strong communication skills.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience shipping AI-powered features in production.
• Comfort with modern AI-augmented development workflows.
• Background working with real-world operational data.
• A proven track record of mentoring senior engineers.
• Side projects, open-source contributions, or other signals of curiosity and drive.
