Security Engineer

The Senior Security Engineer – Enterprise Security shares ownership of the day-to-day operation of the Samsara security environment. You will keep our network access, device trust, and visibility systems running, tuned, and resilient at enterprise scale in partnership with a global team. Utilizing modern principles, you’ll maintain and evolve a modern zero trust program, spend time both on policy design and real-time triage for escalations. You are comfortable owning and maintaining production systems for long term success - troubleshooting systemic issues, tuning policies based on real incidents, and continuously improving what is already built. You bring an automation mindset to repetitive work, whether using Python, SOAR platforms, or AI-assisted tools. You enjoy supporting teammates and helping other engineers build their security knowledge.

Enterprise Security is a global team spanning the US, EMEA, and India. We work in close partnership with our coworkers as collaborators rather than gatekeepers. Leadership is hands-on and technical, and our culture encourages everyone to contribute across the full stack. Executive leadership actively champions security as a competitive advantage that builds customer trust and helps win enterprise partnerships. You will see a direct line between the zero trust systems you operate and the security that protects our physical operations partners worldwide. Our on-call rotation for the highest severity incidents is spread evenly across the team for one week out of every ten.
