Software Engineer II

About the role:

The Safety Triage & Insights team builds products and platforms that help customers review safety events, understand driver risk, and take action more effectively. We work across backend systems, APIs, and user-facing experiences that power safety event triage, supervisor workflows, driver insights, and related safety experiences across Samsara.

We are also investing in AI-native product development, including LLM-powered workflows and agentic systems, to help customers move from manual incident review toward more proactive and intelligent safety operations.

As a Software Engineer II on the team, you will own customer-facing features from concept to production, delivering experiences that improve customer workflows and drive meaningful business impact. You'll collaborate across Product, Design, and engineering to build scalable, AI-powered solutions while continuously improving the reliability and scalability of the systems you own.

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: 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 want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature technologies driving scalable innovation for customers across industries driving the world's physical operations.
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.
