At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
Key Responsibilities
The Safety Triage & Insights team builds data-driven safety experiences that surface actionable insights, engage drivers directly, and help fleets focus resources where they matter most. We develop the systems, APIs, and customer-facing products that power safety event review, supervisor workflows, driver analytics, and AI-driven experiences across Samsara’s Safety organization. The team is deeply invested in AI, LLMs, and emerging agentic technologies, both in the products we build and in how we engineer them, enabling rapid iteration and highly personalized, insight-driven user experiences.
As a Sr. Software Engineer I on the team, you will lead the design and evolution of systems that sit at the intersection of real-time data processing, AI-powered insights, and customer-facing product experiences. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, ML, and platform teams to build scalable services, intelligent workflows, and next-generation AI capabilities that help organizations move beyond reactive incident review toward proactive, data-informed safety management.
Independently deliver well-scoped customer-facing features and platform capabilities from design and implementation through rollout and follow-through in production.
Build reliable services, APIs, and web experiences, improving existing systems while shipping new capabilities.
Contribute to AI-powered workflows and experiences using modern LLM tooling, including evaluation, iteration, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
Make thoughtful technical tradeoffs across speed, maintainability, scalability, and customer impact.
Collaborate across Engineering, Product, Design, ML, and platform teams to deliver cohesive customer experiences.
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.

Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and cross-functional partners.
Experience or demonstrated interest in AI-native development, including LLMs and workflow automation.
A growth mindset, strong product intuition, and excitement for learning new technologies and building impactful customer experiences
Experience building and scaling customer-facing AI/LLM-powered products in production environments.
