Senior Platform Engineer, Growth Product Engineering

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:

Are you a platform engineer who wants to build the foundation that lets an entire growth product engineering organization move faster? At Samsara, we are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join Growth Product & Engineering and own the platform our growth and marketing teams build on. As we push toward AI-assisted and agentic development, our velocity is increasingly bottlenecked not by feature work but by foundational gaps in infrastructure, security, and tooling. These initiatives cut across every team, but no single person owns them today. You will.

This is a hands-on, high-leverage role. You will design the hardened CI/CD pipeline that makes agent-written code safe to ship, migrate hand-built AWS resources to Infrastructure as Code, isolate production and pre-production workloads into properly separated accounts, centralize logging and monitoring, and give every engineer a paved path to self-service infrastructure. Our stack includes Python, JavaScript (Vue), AWS, and GitHub Actions (workflow) API with a growing surface of serverless and container based services and internally hosted applications.

The core principle behind this work: when a human writes a PR, the human is the safety net; when an AI agent writes a PR, the pipeline is the safety net. Raising that bar is the prerequisite for scaling AI-assisted development safely, and it is the single highest-leverage investment we can make in engineering velocity. If that excites you, we would love to talk.

This role is open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area.

You should apply if:

- You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact, helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.

- You are energized by leverage: You would rather build the systems that prevent an entire class of problems than fix the same problem ten times.

- You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role will not be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development and countless opportunities to master your craft in a hyper growth environment.

- You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.

In this role, you will:

- Own the CI/CD foundation for AI-assisted and agentic development: hardened pipeline gates, high test coverage, mutation and end-to-end tests, blocking security scans, performance and cost regression guards, and progressive delivery with automated rollback.

- Give engineers a fast, safe inner loop with ephemeral per-PR environments and local tooling, including isolated
