About the role
Samsara is hiring Software Engineers to build web-based IoT solutions at scale. Our engineers have end-to-end ownership of everything they build - including front-end, back-end, and mobile.
We have the pace and progression that are usually associated with a start-up, but the tools, rewards and product-market fit that you get from working for one of San Francisco’s most prestigious tech companies.
Your team, Compliance, is a cross-functional product team that designs, develops and maintains the solutions needed to cater to the needs of our customers. This can vary from helping our Global and European customers become and remain compliant with the numerous regulations that govern their driver’s activities, to providing services related to ELD, Tachograph, Hours of Service and Payroll.
It’s deeply complex work that solves global problems and challenges. The potential to make an impact and drive change here is huge.
In this role, you will:- Work with product managers, designers, firmware and infra engineers to architect, build, test and deliver full stack features
- Develop skills and knowledge across multiple technologies - Go, Python, GraphQL, Typescript, JavaScript, React and ReactNative are some of the components of our technology stack. Direct experience with these technologies is not required
- Maintaining the production systems that your team owns and provide operational support
- Solve problems that enable our product for our European and global customers
- Grow as an engineer - Samsara devs are constantly learning. We’re an engineering-first organisation with ample room for progression
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on customer success, build for the long term, adopt a growth mindset, be inclusive, and win as a team) as we scale globally and across new offices
Minimum requirements for the role:
- This level role at Samsara is for someone who’s no longer a junior developer but will still need guidance and mentoring from experienced engineers - ‘mid-weight’ to some, ‘Software Engineer III’ to others. You’ll be hungry to learn and fascinated by the future!
- You don’t need to have worked with a big name or have a Computer Science degree, but you’ll be comfortable writing clean code and capable of building complex systems at scale
- You’ll be building out complex end-to-end solutions. If you lean more towards front or back end, that’s all good, but you’ll need to be happy working across the stack here
- Communication skills are important to us. You’ll be able to explain why you build something a certain way and be open to suggestions from other engineers
At Samsara, we welcome everyone regardless of their background, race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, etc. We depend on the unique approaches of our team members to help us solve complex problems. We are committed to increasing diversity across our team and ensuring that Samsara is a place where people from all backgrounds can make an impact.
