Job Description

At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.

Key Responsibilities

We’re seeking a talented Security Engineer with hands-on experience deploying, managing, and operating modern Vulnerability Management platforms. In this role, you’ll work alongside technical product managers and engineers across the company to maintain Samsara’s Vulnerability Management infrastructure and de-risk software vulnerabilities to better protect our customers.
We seek someone who is passionate about leveraging automation to enhance efficiency, is enthusiastic about working with infrastructure-as-code, and has a wealth of experience collaborating with teams to reduce software vulnerabilities. Your contributions will be critical to shaping our overall security and compliance strategy. At Samsara, we value working backwards from winning as an operating principle. Your ability to define success and work with cross-functional stakeholders by working backwards to reach that success is pivotal.
Support the ongoing operation and maintenance of Samsara’s vulnerability management program, ensuring consistent execution of processes.
Assist in managing vulnerability scanning tools and help refine detection capabilities to improve accuracy and reduce false positives.
Work closely with the Vulnerability Technical Program Manager to generate and distribute monthly and quarterly compliance reports.
Collaborate with engineering teams to track and support the remediation of identified vulnerabilities, providing guidance on best practices.
Assist in analyzing and triaging vulnerabilities, escalating critical issues to senior security engineers or Security Operations as needed.
Participate in security incident investigations related to high-profile vulnerabilities, helping gather data and assess potential impact on Samsara infrastructure.
Contribute to documentation and process improvements to streamline vulnerability management workflows.
Champion Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) in daily work.

Requirements

Familiarity with security engineering best practices and common security vulnerabilities, with the ability to assess their severity and impact.
Scripting experience, preferably in Python and Pandas data analysis package, to assist with automation tasks.
Understanding of cloud environments (AWS preferred) and infrastructure-as-code concepts (Terraform experience is a plus).
Experience working in Linux-based environments and troubleshooting security-related issues.
Exposure to security automation tools (e.g., Tines, AWS Lambda) is beneficial but not required.
Hands-on experience with vulnerability management tools such as Wiz or Semgrep is a plus.
2-4 years of relevant experience in security engineering, vulnerability management, or a related technical field.
Practical experience managing vulnerabilities within a FedRAMP-certified environment.
Experience integrating vulnerability management into modern CI/CD pipelines with a “shift-left” mentality.
Growth mindset around learning the state of the vulnerability management in the industry

Benefits & Perks

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
