About the role

  • Samsara is hiring a Senior Software Engineer II to join our Operational Excellence (OPX) team within the Developer Experience (DevEx) organization.
  • Within DevEx, the Operational Excellence (OPX) team keeps production healthy at scale.
  • We're also investing in AI-driven operational tooling and partnering directly with product engineering teams to strengthen their operational posture.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build automated reliability and self-healing systems that protect production at scale - including automated rollbacks, deploy safeguards, and fault mitigation - and deliver them as platform tooling that engineering teams across the company adopt for their own services.
  • Contribute to AI-driven operational tooling that goes beyond triage, building toward autonomous remediation where AI detects issues, takes corrective action, and self-recovers with minimal human involvement.
  • Partner directly with product engineering teams to diagnose reliability gaps, reduce their operational burden, and help them adopt best practices for running their services.
  • 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.
  • The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact - helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
  • You will have the opportunity to participate in customer interviews, collaborate with customer success and product managers, and use metrics to ensure our work is translating into better customer outcomes.
  • If you're ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
  • Our offices are open for those who prefer to work in-person and we also support remote work where it aligns with our operational requirements.
  • All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual's ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.
  • We use Tofu, a fraud detection tool, to validate the authenticity of applications and protect against identity fraud.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar).
  • Experience implementing AI-driven automation across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to reduce developer friction, automate repetitive technical tasks, and accelerate time-to-delivery.
  • Experience writing high-quality code (Go, Python, or equivalent) focused on infrastructure, deployment, and operations challenges.
  • 8+ years of experience designing and building products in a software engineering team.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science / Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of experience on infrastructure and/or platform engineering-focused teams.
  • You have deep empathy for on-call engineers and a bias toward making their lives better.

Nice to have

  • Experience with incident management tooling (Incident.io, PagerDuty, or equivalent).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - Terraform.

Compensation

  • The range of annual base salary for full-time employees for this position is below.

Benefits

  • 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.
  • Flexible Working
  • 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.
