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.

About the role:

The Safety team is the lifeblood of Samsara - the anchor point from which we have built a great business extending AI into physical operations.

In this role, you’ll be leading our in-vehicle experiences. Drivers face an increasing amount of challenges on the road, and it’s our job to help them stay safe. We do this by analyzing everything that happens on the road and then alerting drivers to any dangers we can detect in real-time. This will be your job, to take the driver experience and safety to the very next level!
