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,
Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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:
Our Platform is the foundation of our Connected Operations solution. Think of it
as a hub-and-spoke model. All our products — safety, route planning,
maintenance, fuel efficiency, EV reporting etc — are the spokes that engage
users. But they all connect back to the central hub.
Most organisational platforms — and we're talking about those outside of Samsara
— act as a software layer between infrastructure and product. They also tend to
function behind the scenes.
Our platform, however, is different. Not only do we work on core infrastructure
and platform components, we also develop customer-facing features. Customers log
into Samsara through the platform, interacting with everything from the login
screen to dashboards, reports, settings, and alerts. Regardless of the product,
the platform is the central interface for insights and management.
As a Senior Software Engineer in the Platform team, you’ll own the systems you
build, shape products that prevent crashes and emissions, and create world-class
systems at scale. You’ll take full technical ownership of key product areas used
by thousands of fleets worldwide, solving real-world problems that cut CO₂ and
keep people safe. Your ideas will shape roadmaps, influence critical decisions,
and power products that make measurable impact at scale.
Work with product managers, designers, firmware and infrastructure engineers to
design, build, test, and deliver end-to-end products. You’ll develop skills
across multiple technologies and own the production systems in your domain. You
will coach, mentor, and guide engineers in the team, while also receiving
support for your own development.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada.
You should apply if:
- 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 want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to
our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature
technologies, driving scalable innovation for customers across industries,
driving the world's physical operations.
- You are a lifelong 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.

- Take full ownership of complex features and projects, guiding them from
initial concept (0-1) through design, development, launch, and ongoing
support.

- Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, ML, and Design team members to
translate high-level requirements into robust, scalable features and create

Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be
