Staff Engineer - Telematics

Overview

Staff Software Engineer to help grow Telematics products (including routing and workforce management for physical operations) into major businesses, combining hands-on engineering with technical leadership.

What you'll do

• Work directly with customers and customer-facing teams to understand unmet needs, test assumptions and identify opportunities worth pursuing.
• Agree on success measures with Product and Design before investing in a solution.
• Lead ambiguous initiatives end to end, from discovery and prototypes through production rollout, adoption and iteration.
• Use customer feedback and product data to decide what to improve, expand or stop.
• Write and ship code on the critical path across services, APIs and customer-facing experiences.
• Set technical direction for your area and align the teams needed to deliver it.
• Make pragmatic architecture choices that support rapid learning today and reliable growth over time.
• Own the production quality of what you build, including correctness, reliability and performance, safe rollouts, and operational evidence as usage grows.
• Increase the effectiveness of engineers around you through design and code reviews, mentoring senior engineers, and removing recurring obstacles to delivery.
• Share context and decisions so others can move independently.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles as the company scales globally and across new offices.
• Hire, develop and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high performing team.

What you'll need

• A track record of shipping customer-facing products and growing them beyond their initial launch, with contribution explained in measurable outcomes such as adoption, revenue growth, retention, customer efficiency or cost to serve.
• Strong product judgement, including experience working directly with customers, clarifying poorly defined problems, and making evidence-based decisions, including changing direction when an initial idea did not work.
• Deep hands-on software engineering ability, with recent experience designing, implementing and operating production systems, and moving from prototype to maintainable software while explaining trade-offs.
• Experience scaling products and the systems behind them, identifying the next constraint, balancing speed with reliability, and making technical investments that support growth.
• Technical leadership across team boundaries, including building alignment without formal authority, making other engineers more effective, and communicating difficult choices clearly to technical and business partners.

Nice to have

• Experience building B2B software through an early growth stage, or working on routing, workforce management or other software for physical operations.
• Evidence of learning a complex customer domain and delivering results; previous industry experience is helpful rather than essential.

Details

• Locations: London, UK; Remote, UK.
• Flexible working model: offices open for in-person work, with remote work supported where it aligns with operational requirements.
