Staff Software Engineer, DevEx

About the Position

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer, DevEx to join our team at Samsara, a pioneer in the Connected Operations™ Cloud. This role is remote and open to candidates based in the US.

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: $162,400-$290,000 USD
• Total Rewards: Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company.
• Flexible Working: Embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams. Our offices are open for those who prefer to work in-person and we also support remote work where it aligns with our operational requirements.
• Belonging at Samsara: We welcome everyone regardless of their background. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, and other characteristics protected by law.
