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.

You’ll partner with design, product, and mobile to ship reliable, performant features that customers use every day.

Our stack: TypeScript + React for our web client, GraphQL to fetch data from our backend, Golang for backend services, and React Native for our mobile app. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.
