Job Description
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
Key Responsibilities
- We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build the core platform that will make Samsara “agentic.” This platform enables agentic development across the company by coordinating intelligent agents to automate complex tasks.
- You’ll work on a foundational system that scales from a small set of specialized agents today to dozens of agents in production over the next year.
- This is zero-to-one work: you will help define core primitives, solve hard systems problems, and build service components that other teams will rely on. We work on the full stack behind the agents including: greenfield products, modalities, internal tooling, evaluations, and observability.
- Our final interview stage is a full-day, in-person onsite at our SF office. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate face-to-face with our senior technical leaders and dive deep into the hard problems we are solving.
- This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US or Canada. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
- Build core infrastructure for multi-agent orchestration, including task planning, coordination, execution, and recovery
- Define and implement platform primitives and abstractions that enable internal teams to build and deploy new agents
- Design reliable backend services and APIs for agent discovery, state management, scheduling, and observability
- Architect systems to support scale, resilience, and long-running workflows across multiple concurrent agents
- Collaborate with internal teams building agents to refine APIs, tooling, and operational feedback loops
- Drive technical decisions in a high-ambiguity, early-stage environment where requirements evolve rapidly
- Own systems end to end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production operation
- 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
- 4+ years of Software Engineering experience
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production systems
- Senior-level experience with high-scale backend or distributed systems
- Proficiency in Python
- Strong system design skills and production reliability mindset
- Comfortable working across the stack as needed
- Ability to operate in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Experience with Go
- Experience with agentic or autonomous systems, orchestration platforms, workflow engines, or automation infrastructure
- Familiarity with observability tooling, distributed tracing, and event-driven systems
- Experience designing APIs and internal tooling used by other engineering teams
- 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.
