About the Role
Samsara is hiring a Senior Software Engineer II to join the Web Experience (WebEx) team. The team is responsible for reducing workflow distance for customers through great in-dashboard experiences, improving efficiency of day-to-day workflows, and helping users discover features across the Samsara dashboard. The team owns cross-platform full-stack infrastructure and product patterns integral to the web dashboard experience, and is focused on building useful AI experiences to help users get value from the product more quickly.
Responsibilities
- Help shape the technical direction of the Web Experience platform, including full-stack systems, shared patterns, and AI-powered product experiences.
- Design and build end-to-end features that bring AI into real product workflows, spanning customer-facing experiences, backend services, and supporting infrastructure.
- Scale the systems and foundations behind the web experience to support growth in product usage and AI adoption without sacrificing reliability, quality, or usability.
- Standardize patterns and raise the technical bar through code reviews, design discussions, mentorship, and collaboration with product, design, and peer engineering teams.
- Partner with engineering and product leadership on high-leverage bets, make clear tradeoffs, and help build a team culture grounded in long-term thinking, inclusiveness, and shared success.
- Champion 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.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8+ years building software with strong programming and design fundamentals.
- 4+ years working on large-scale distributed systems.
- 4+ years leading technical projects across multiple teams.
Ideal Candidate
- Experience building developer platforms, internal tooling, or CI/CD for a large engineering org (hundreds of engineers or more).
- Shipped real work with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, custom agents) — not just tried them out.
- Strong skills in Go, Python, TypeScript, or a similar language.
- A track record of making engineers measurably faster — quicker builds, easier deploys, less toil, happier developers.
- Comfort working in ambiguity and getting teams aligned without needing formal authority.
