- Build with AI agents by default, and raise the AI fluency of the engineers around you
- Partner closely with the Hardware team to define and build next-generation devices that support company objectives, and work just as fluently with Backend, Web, Mobile, Product, and Customer Success teams
- Lead teams in delivering products and capabilities that contribute to Samsara's products and revenue
- 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
