Job Description
About the role:
Samsara’s Trailers & Equipment teams focus on delivering solutions for trailer and powered equipment tracking. We help customers understand the utilization of trailers, and the location of expensive assets, and provide them with insight into the health of equipment. We ingest large amounts of data from our hardware in real time and help customers make sense of their overall logistics through real-time visibility, reporting, and alerting.
As a software engineer focusing on full-stack at Samsara, you will design and develop features touching many parts of our system that have a tangible impact on customers. You’ll tackle engineering challenges ranging from database architecture for scale, presenting analytics in an intuitive way for users, and performant ways to display insights on mobile and web.
We use Golang for our backend, Typescript and React for our web client, GraphQL to fetch data from our backend, and React Native for our mobile app. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.
You should apply if:
- You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
- You want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature technologies driving scalable innovation for customers across industries driving the world's physical operations.
- You are a life-long learner: We have ambitious goals. Every Samsarian has a growth mindset as we work with a wide range of technologies, challenges, and customers that push us to learn on the go.
- You believe customers are more than a number: Samsara engineers enjoy a rare closeness to the end user and you will have the opportunity to participate in customer interviews, collaborate with customer success and product managers, and use metrics to ensure our work is translating into better customer outcomes.
- You are a team player: Working on our Samsara Engineering teams requires a mix of independent effort and collaboration. Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win—together.
