Senior Software Engineer II

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: Our 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 Vehicle Intelligence firmware team is a cross-functional product engineering team that designs, develops, deploys, and maintains solutions that help our customers become more sustainable in their fleet operations. We primarily work and collaborate closely with product managers, customer support teams, other firmware teams, and full stack engineers to build out our feature sets. The technology in use includes buildkite, databricks, GraphQL, Golang, C++, Linux, CAN, Wifi, USB and LTE. This role is a mix of development and operational work focused on firmware releases and metrics. This role is open to candidates residing in 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, 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 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: • Architect, develop, debug, and test customer facing firmware features written in C/C++ and Golang for Samsara’s cloud-connected hardware platform. • Build IOT products for the long term and support our 1.5+ million devices in the field. • Design and develop our internal observability discipline to ensure the health of our firmware rollouts. • 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.
