About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead 'Big Rock' projects: moving between Smart Trailers and Connected Equipment teams based on the most pressing business needs.
  • Drive 'Step Functions': As a Senior Staff Engineer, you aren't just shipping features; you are driving major leaps in architecture and product capability that make the team better around you.
  • Think like a Product Manager: We don't do heavy PRDs. You are expected to be in the field with customers, understanding their pain points and 'willing' solutions into existence.
  • Ship at the 'Speed of Thought' with AI: We are refactoring our engineering culture to be AI-first. You will lead the charge in using LLMs and AI agents to automate the 'boring stuff' and focus on high-level problem solving.
  • Optimize across the Stack: You'll collaborate with firmware and hardware teams to solve cross-cutting problems, like balancing real-time visibility against energy consumption.
  • Lead without Ego: You will mentor engineers in a high-ownership environment where the best idea wins, regardless of title.
  • Advocate for Technical Health: Partner with Engineering Management to balance long-term technical health with iterative customer wins.
  • Be a Cultural Force Multiplier: Champion Samsara’s principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset) as we scale globally.

What you’ll need
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
  • 12+ years of experience in software design and development, with at least 4 years in an architect or leadership role.
  • Technical Independence: You don’t wait to be told what to do; you have the backbone and conviction to define what should be done and push through hurdles to complete it.
  • Modern Engineering Workflow: Expert in writing high-quality, maintainable code in a modern language, with a demonstrated ability to use AI tools (Cursor, LLMs, etc.) to multiply your output.
  • Cloud Scale Expertise: Proven experience working with web services at massive scale deployed on Cloud providers such as AWS or Azure.
  • Communication: Excellent collaboration and problem-solving skills, with a demonstrated ability to manage complex technical discussions with stakeholders across Legal, Hardware, and Product.
  • A 'Founder-Engineer' mindset: You’ve built and shipped a 0-1 product from scratch and successfully navigated the 'morass' of scaling it into a mature business driver.
  • Applied AI Power-User: You have fully transitioned to an AI-native workflow to 'code at the speed of thought.
