Samsara The Manager II, Software Engineering at Samsara leads engineering teams building IoT and AI-driven products for physical operations. This role involves defining product roadmaps and managing engineers across platform and product teams.
Responsibilities
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) 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, and that dataset is compounding: it grew from 4 trillion to 25+ trillion in four years. We’re still early in turning that data into the products that will define how physical operations run, and we’re hiring the leaders who will build the teams that build what comes next.
We’re at ~$2.1B ARR growing 30%+ year over year, with 96% of our largest customers on two or more products. The fastest-growing divisions at Samsara are tackling the hardest, most ambiguous problems at the company: building new products from scratch, applying AI and ML to massive real-world datasets, and shipping capabilities that change how organizations maintain equipment, manage fleets, and run day-to-day operations. Most of this work is zero-to-one, at billion-dollar scale.
We’re looking for Engineering Managers who want to define what ships next by building and leading great teams. You’ll manage engineers across platform and product, and we’re open to shaping team scope around the right person’s strengths and interests. That window won’t stay open long.
This role is remote and open to candidates residing in the US or Canada. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
You should apply if:
You want to impact the industries that run our world. The software your team builds will have real-world stakes: helping keep the lights on, getting food into grocery stores, keeping workers safe. What ships here isn’t metrics on a dashboard. It shows up on the loading dock, the job site, and the dispatch floor.
You want to build, not maintain. Samsara is in full growth mode. Your team will build new systems from scratch, not babysit old ones. You’d 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. More connected assets generate more data, more data trains better models, better models drive more value, and more value wins more assets. The market and the opportunity here are what set us apart, not just the models.
You believe customers are more than a number. Samsara engineers have a rare closeness to end users. You and your team will participate in customer interviews, collaborate with product managers and customer success, and use that context to build products that solve real problems operators face every day.
You believe great teams are the real product. You get energy from hiring exceptional people, growing them, and creating the conditions for them to do the best work of their careers. The rate-limiting step on our teams isn’t tooling or process. It’s ambition, and your job is to unlock it.
Lead and grow a team of engineers: hire top talent, coach and develop individuals, manage performance, and build a culture of ownership, quality, and velocity.
Take ownership of technically complex, mission-critical areas and run with them. We want to point you in a direction and show up to the demo meeting impressed, not spend our weeks managing the details.
