Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack - Vehicle Data Platform

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:

Samsara’s Telematics team focuses on building both the product and platform for vehicle telematics data. We build products for end-users, such as fuel and energy efficiency reporting, maintenance workflows, and real-time & historical vehicle reporting. We also build the platform of telematics data that many other full-stack teams interface with to retrieve reliable and consistent data to power cloud solutions that help fleets increase their safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations. 

As a senior full-stack engineer in the Vehicle Diagnostics team, you will lead the design and development of products and abstractions based on vehicle telematics data. You will lead technical discussions with teammates to identify gaps in our platform and influence the roadmap by setting direction and recommending solutions. You will collaborate with other full-stack teams to make design decisions and understand downstream implications in our product. 

Our Vehicle Diagnostics team takes real-time signals from our IoT devices deployed in vehicles (think: GPS, Engine RPM, Fuel Levels and hundreds more) and processes them to help our customers make their vehicle fleets safer, greener, and more efficient. The team owns the end-to-end lifecycle of diagnostic data from on-vehicle capture through customer delivery: ingesting and decoding CAN/OBD signals on the Vehicle Gateway (VG), transforming and storing data in scalable backend systems, and exposing it to customers via stable APIs, webhooks, and intuitive Dashboard experiences. It includes both firmware and fullstack engineers.

We use Golang for our backend microservices and Typescript, React, and GraphQL for our web & mobile apps. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.

This role is fully remote in the US or 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 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.

In this role, you will: 

  • Lead technical discussions with teammates to identify gaps in our telematics data platform and influence the roadmap by setting direction and recommending solutions
  • Work directly with firmware engineers and vehicle experts to make both vehicle data and insights visible to end customers
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams to make design decisions and understand downstream implications in our product to ensure a seamless customer experience
  • Ship features that are immediately used by our customers and iterate based on their feedback
  • Measure impact of features we build and iterate based on outcomes
  • 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

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • 5+ years of professional industry experience in software development
  • Strong programming/coding fundamentals in a language such as Java, Python, or Golang
  • Experience designing and architecting large, high-scale systems
  • An ability to estimate, communicate, and deliver upon project milestones with your team
  • Experiencing with large-scale observability for production systems
  • Experience triaging and assessing incoming customer and QA found issues
  • Bachelors or masters in computer science, engineering or similar

An ideal candidate also has:

  • Experience working on a production system that manages large amounts of data
  • Experience designing and developing highly-reusable interfaces
  • Experience shipping to customers or building platform
  • Built production services using Golang
  • Experience fostering collaboration and camaraderie in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Experience leading and mentoring engineers to think critically about the right problems to solve and to think about their systems/solutions (life cycles, edge cases, failure modes)
