About the Position

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer, DevEx to join our team at Samsara. This role is remote and open to candidates based in Canada. If you are passionate about shaping the future of developer experience and AI coding agents, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Responsibilities

Help shape the technical direction of our developer platform - CI/CD, build systems, and the AI agents engineers interact with daily
Design and build AI agents that take real work off engineers' plates: coding, code review, test generation, release automation, and incident response
Scale our tooling so it can keep up as the engineering org grows, without sacrificing reliability or developer happiness
Standardize tools and practices so good ideas spread instead of getting reinvented on every team
Raise the technical bar through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship
Partner with engineering leadership on the bets worth making, and be honest about tradeoffs
Represent Samsara externally when it makes sense - talks, open source, helping us become a place great engineers want to work
Live out our cultural principles: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
8+ years building software, with at least 2 years in an architect or technical leadership role
Strong programming and design fundamentals
4+ years working on large-scale distributed systems
4+ years leading technical projects across multiple teams

Nice to Have

Experience building developer platforms, internal tooling, or CI/CD for a large engineering org (hundreds of engineers or more)
You've 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

We Offer

Annual Base Salary: $154,800-$212,850 CAD
Flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams
Comprehensive health and parental leave plans
Professional development stipend
Equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company
