About the role

  • Own the technical strategy across Fleet Safety: Define a coherent multi-year technical vision that aligns product needs with scalable architectures across video, telematics, and AI/ML workflows.

  • Scale distributed systems and data platforms: Evolve backend services, streaming pipelines, storage, and indexing for reliability, observability, security, and cost efficiency—reducing operational toil and improving performance at scale.
  • Influence across teams to raise the engineering bar: Establish standards, guide difficult trade-offs, improve developer productivity, and ensure systems fit together cleanly to accelerate product delivery.
  • Mentor and grow engineers: Actively coach Staff-level engineers, institutionalize best practices, and create mechanisms (documentation, automation, design reviews) that scale your impact and foster a culture of ownership, rigor, and inclusion.
  • 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.
