Samsara Senior Software Engineer at Samsara builds AI-powered solutions for operational safety and efficiency. The role involves end-to-end ownership from customer needs to production across backend and customer-facing software.
Responsibilities
Samsara builds software that helps organizations run safer, more efficient physical operations. Our products connect data from vehicles, equipment, and cameras to the people who use it.
The Operational AI team is turning Samsara's safety cameras into tools for understanding everyday operations. Our AI-powered products help customers observe the work, conditions, and events that matter to them, wherever their vehicles travel or their teams operate.
As a senior engineer, you will build agentic solutions that let customers create their own custom detections and workflows. You will own work from the first customer conversation through design, implementation, and production operation. You will work across backend services and customer-facing software, partnering with platform and machine learning engineers on AI capabilities in the cloud and on devices.
This role offers room to shape both the product and its technical direction. You will help decide what to build, learn from customers, and turn early ideas into software they can rely on.
Open to candidates residing in the US and Canada.
You should apply if

You enjoy working through ambiguity, defining the problem and deciding what to build rather than waiting for a detailed specification.
You work backward from business goals and move across the stack to solve the problem.
You know when a one-off solution is enough and when a reusable platform is worth building.
You experiment with AI to improve your own workflows and use what you learn to shape the next generation of products.
You want to make a meaningful impact on the industries that keep the world running and help workers return home safely.
