About the role

- This role reports into our AppSec team and has a clear path to shape Samsara's AI security strategy.
Responsibilities
- Deliver accurate, consistent security assessments of Samsara's software, code, and firmware, evaluating their resilience against AI-driven/adversarial attacks, and implementing fixes.
- Create and translate general AI security findings into Samsara-specific fixes for our application security layer- including adapting techniques built for software to apply to hardware and embedded firmware.
- Build and pressure-test novel AI-enabled security tooling and workflows, then drive adoption of what proves valuable across the broader security org.
- Benchmark each new frontier model against the previous one for security tasks, and build the release criteria and guardrails for adopting it.
- Support AppSec vulnerability triage through an office-hours rotation, and help run our bug bounty program, with potential expansion to hardware.
- Partner cross-functionally with engineering, hardware, and leadership. Present findings to security and executive leadership as Samsara's go-to expert on AI-related security risk.
- Help define & drive Samsara's medium- and long-term strategy for adopting AI safely and effectively within security operations.
- 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
