Software Engineer - Safety

About the role:

We’re looking for a motivated full stack Software Engineer to join our Safety In-Vehicle Experience team. Samsara’s In-Vehicle Experience team builds the software that powers how drivers interact with their vehicles, from real-time safety alerts and AI-driven insights to intuitive in-cab workflows and user interfaces, creating a seamless, engaging, and safer driving experience. This role calls for a solid grasp of software engineering practices, effective communication abilities, and a keenness to learn and collaborate with a team of skilled engineers. You will design and develop features across a broad surface area with a tangible impact on current and future customers. In Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25), Samsara customers prevented 250,000 accidents, digitized 300 million workflows, and saved 3 billion pounds of CO₂.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

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: 

• Solve complex problems and own the success of your solutions as you architect, build, test, and deliver full-stack products. 
• Communicate, collaborate, and develop with engineers, platform/infrastructure teams, product managers, designers, and support teams. 
• Build upon skills and knowledge across a range of technologies, such as Go, GraphQL, Typescript, React, and MySQL. Previous experience with these technologies is not required. 
• Own the operational health of production systems as we build for the future scale of an ever-growing customer base. 
• Make an impact on our core architecture, roadmap, and the wider engineering community.
• 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:

• 2+ years of full stack experience in software development.
• Experience shipping features that are used by customers and iterate on customer feedback to inform what to deliver next.
• Strong communication skills and a desire to collaborate. You can explain why you build something a certain way and be open to suggestions from other engineers and stakeholders.
• A growth mindset and excitement around building new skills, expertise, and having curiosity.
• Comfortable with building out end-to-end solutions. A preference for front-end or back-end development is okay, but you’ll need to be happy working across the stack.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience with Go, GraphQL, Typescript, and React
• Familiarity with embedded systems and software
• Experience with taking LLM systems to production. 
• Effectively collaborated on a geographically distributed team.
• Maintained software products at scale.
