Job Description
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Safety AI builds the ML and computer vision systems behind Samsara's AI dash cameras which enable real-time driver alerts, risk signals, and coaching insights running on millions of edge devices and the cloud.
- This role owns what happens after training: building the resilient, low-latency ML backend systems that turn static model artifacts into high-throughput, cloud-scale safety features.
- You will partner closely with applied scientists, firmware and full-stack engineers, and product managers and you will build the ML APIs, data pipelines, and evaluation infrastructure that let Safety AI models run efficiently at fleet scale, closing the loop from initial integration through rollout monitoring and iteration to a trustworthy, customer-facing signal.
- This is ML engineering where the stakes are real: rare, high-consequence events, millions of vehicles, and a product where "it works" means someone got home safely. Kindly refer to this video .
- This is a remote role open to candidates residing in the US or Canada.
- Design Production ML APIs: Architect and maintain reliable, low-latency APIs to integrate Safety AI model outputs directly into cloud applications.
- Build Data Flywheels: Construct scalable pipelines to power continuous model iteration, backtesting, shadow and online evaluation, enabling fast and safe deployments.
- Optimize & Serve Artifacts: Productionize model artifacts handed off by applied scientists, optimizing serving logic and fine-tuning models for platform-specific workloads.
- Petabyte-Scale Operations: Process high-volume camera and sensor telematics data to support model execution, backtesting, and automated dataset curation.
- Monitor & Maintain Rollout Health: Build systems to track model drift, precision/recall, and latency regressions in production, ensuring predictable failure modes and closed-loop data feedback.
- Cross-Functional System Integration: Partner with firmware and platform teams to optimize edge-to-cloud model execution, balancing latency, throughput, and infrastructure cost.
- Product Collaboration: Work with product managers to translate safety requirements into scalable technical architectures.
- 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.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or similar role, with a track record of shipping models in production.
- Strong proficiency in one or more common languages (e.g., C++, Golang, Java, Python, Scala).
- Proficiency with common ML tools (e.g. Ray/Ray Serve, MLflow, Grafana, Pytorch, Spark, etc).
- Experience deploying and iteratively refining models using real customer feedback loops.
- Comfort with full-stack/backend development — you understand the data structures and dependencies underneath your models.
- BS or MS in Computer Science or a related quantitative field.
- Ph.D. in Computer Science or a quantitative discipline (e.g., Applied Math, Physics, Statistics).
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code frameworks.
- Experience deploying and managing ML applications in cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure), including cloud-based storage, processing, and inference.
- Experience shipping end-to-end ML applications from artifact to production, ideally in safety-critical or high-scale domains.
- Expertise optimizing distributed model training with GPUs.
- The range of annual base salary for full-time employees for this position is below. Please note that base pay offered may vary depending on factors including your city of residence, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This role is also eligible for an initial RSU grant with no vesting cliff, and ongoing refresh opportunities tied to performance, subject to plan terms and conditions.

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.
