About the role
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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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 sits at the center of hardware, software, AI, and the physical world, processing 25+ trillion data points annually across thousands of connected devices. The Samsara Application Security team protects this vast footprint end-to-end, spanning cloud services, internal systems, and firmware running on IoT hardware in the field. As a Staff Application Security Engineer, you’ll drive the overarching technical direction for our application security and vulnerability management programs. This is a high-visibility role where you'll influence a broad surface area while retaining the flexibility to dive deep into critical domain focus areas as security priorities evolve. 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: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely. • You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won't be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, and countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper-growth environment. • You're energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers. • You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best. In this role, you will: • Lead the ongoing strategy, operation, and continuous improvement of Samsara's vulnerability management program, along with other core application security programs — not just execute against an existing process, but define what the process should be. • Own and drive down mean time to remediate (MTTR) across the vulnerability backlog, as SLAs tighten. • Build and champion automation and tooling that scale vulnerability detection and response across cloud, firmware/IoT, and corporate systems, rather than relying on manual, one-by-one review. • Set technical and architectural direction for the program, translating leadership's strategic priorities into a concrete execution plan for the team. • Drive remediation by building trust with engineering teams and providing clear, actionable guidance — partnering with technical program management on reporting rather than owning it directly. • Mentor and level up other engineers on secure design and remediation practices, and be a technical
