Senior Software Engineer II

Overview

Senior Software Engineer II role on Samsara's team building zero-to-one AI-powered and data-driven products for the Connected Operations Cloud. Leveling is open from Senior through Staff+ across platform and product.

What you'll do

• Take ownership of technically complex, mission-critical areas.
• Define and drive technical strategy for new products and platform capabilities, from backend services and APIs to the customer-facing UI.
• Design and ship full-stack features end to end across backend, frontend, and potentially mobile, delivering AI-powered products that solve real operational problems.
• Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to translate ambiguous, real-world problems into clear technical plans and measurable outcomes.
• Build and scale the systems behind AI-driven products, including data ingestion, APIs, and the workflows that put intelligence into the hands of operators.
• Raise the bar for engineers around you through code reviews, design reviews, and technical mentorship.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles as the company scales globally and across new offices.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in software design and development, including building and operating production systems at scale.
• Strong full-stack fundamentals, comfortable working across backend services, APIs, and frontend (web or mobile) to ship complete products.
• Proficiency in modern languages and frameworks (Go, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-org projects from inception through rollout, including managing ambiguity, driving alignment, and delivering measurable impact.
• Experience building AI-powered or data-driven products; training models is not required, but you must know how to turn AI capabilities into products customers love.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A track record of building zero-to-one products, systems you left in a meaningfully better place, or hard problems you refused to let stay unsolved.

Nice to have

• Experience shipping AI-powered features in production, such as LLM-based products, agentic workflows, recommendation systems, or other customer-facing AI.
• Comfort with modern AI-augmented development workflows (Cursor, LLMs, etc.).
• Background working with real-world operational data (telematics, sensor data, work orders, inspections) or a strong interest in learning the domain.
• A proven track record of mentoring senior engineers and influencing engineering culture, standards, and best practices beyond a single team.
• Side projects, open-source contributions, or other signals of curiosity and drive outside the day job.
