Job Description
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
Key Responsibilities
- The way software gets built is changing fast. AI agents are starting to write, review, and ship code alongside engineers — and our Developer Experience team sits right in the middle of figuring out what that actually looks like at Samsara.
- We build the tooling and infrastructure that Samsara's engineers use every day. Our "customers" are the people building the products that keep millions of workers safe and physical operations running. When we make their day better, every product team at Samsara benefits.
- We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help set technical direction for the team. You'd be working on everything from our CI/CD pipelines to the AI coding agents engineers will rely on to do their jobs. It's a small team with a lot of surface area, and the work you do here shows up across the whole engineering org.
- This role is remote and open to candidates based in the US.
- Help shape the technical direction of our developer platform — CI/CD, build systems, and the AI agents engineers interact with daily
- Design and build AI agents that take real work off engineers' plates: coding, code review, test generation, release automation, and incident response
- Scale our tooling so it can keep up as the engineering org grows, without sacrificing reliability or developer happiness
- Standardize tools and practices so good ideas spread instead of getting reinvented on every team
- Raise the technical bar through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship
- Partner with engineering leadership on the bets worth making, and be honest about tradeoffs
- Represent Samsara externally when it makes sense — talks, open source, helping us become a place great engineers want to work
- Live out our cultural principles: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years building software, with at least 2 years in an architect or technical leadership role
- Strong programming and design fundamentals
- 4+ years working on large-scale distributed systems
- 4+ years leading technical projects across multiple teams
- Experience building developer platforms, internal tooling, or CI/CD for a large engineering org (hundreds of engineers or more)
- You've shipped real work with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, custom agents) — not just tried them out
- Strong skills in Go, Python, TypeScript, or a similar language
- A track record of making engineers measurably faster — quicker builds, easier deploys, less toil, happier developers
- Comfort working in ambiguity and getting teams aligned without needing formal authority
- 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.
