Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack - Vehicle Data Platform

Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About The Role

Samsara’s Telematics team focuses on building both the product and platform for vehicle telematics data. We build products for end-users, such as fuel and energy efficiency reporting, maintenance workflows, and real-time & historical vehicle reporting. We also build the platform of telematics data that many other full-stack teams interface with to retrieve reliable and consistent data to power cloud solutions that help fleets increase their safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations.

As a senior full-stack engineer in the Vehicle Diagnostics team, you will lead the design and development of products and abstractions based on vehicle telematics data. You will lead technical discussions with teammates to identify gaps in our platform and influence the roadmap by setting direction and recommending solutions. You will collaborate with other full-stack teams to make design decisions and understand downstream implications in our product.

Our Vehicle Diagnostics team takes real-time signals from our IoT devices deployed in vehicles (think: GPS, Engine RPM, Fuel Levels and hundreds more) and processes them to help our customers make their vehicle fleets safer, greener, and more efficient. The team owns the end-to-end lifecycle of diagnostic data from on-vehicle capture through customer delivery: ingesting and decoding CAN/OBD signals on the Vehicle Gateway (VG), transforming and storing data in scalable backend systems, and exposing it to customers via stable APIs, webhooks, and intuitive Dashboard experiences. It includes both firmware and fullstack engineers.

We use Golang for our backend microservices and Typescript, React, and GraphQL for our web & mobile apps. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.

This Role Is Fully Remote In The Us Or Canada.
