Senior Software Engineer, Mobile BLE Platform

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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the role:

The BLE platform team owns the BLE implementation on all Samsara products. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team to build and own the BLE platform on our mobile products: Samsara Driver and Samsara Fleet.

These products support our customers across their entire organization and power their most critical tasks, helping frontline workers and administrators be more efficient when they’re on the go. Over the next few years, we’ll be rapidly adding new unique experiences and products to our portfolio, which means that our mobile products will become even more critical and need to expand to support millions of users. You will be responsible for the end-to-end success of new products and features that delight our customers and further Samsara’s vision.

We use React Native, Typescript, Redux, and GraphQL for our mobile apps, Golang for our backend, and C and Golang for our firmware.

This role is open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Area and NYC Metro Area.  Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature technologies driving scalable innovation for customers across industries driving the world's physical operations.
• You are a life-long learner: We have ambitious goals. Every Samsarian has a growth mindset as we work with a wide range of technologies, challenges, and customers that push us to learn on the go.
• You believe customers are more than a number: Samsara engineers enjoy a rare closeness to the end user and you will have the opportunity to participate in customer interviews, collaborate with customer success and product managers, and use metrics to ensure our work is translating into better customer outcomes.
• You are a team player: Working on our Samsara Engineering teams requires a mix of independent effort and collaboration. Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win—together.

In this role, you will: 

• Help shape the future of our mobile apps by architecting and implementing a BLE platform for Android and iOS that unlocks product features and delights our customers.
• Work closely with the rest of the mobile team to improve our application architecture and development processes
• Partner with firmware and backend engineers on the design of the overall BLE architecture to ensure seamless integration with our hardware products
• Collaborate with full stack engineers to guide them through mobile-specific concerns as they plan and build customer-facing features.
• Ensure a top-quality developer experience by improving the reliability and usability of our continuous integration, metrics collection, and mobile build systems.
• Leverage your experience to mentor junior developers and level up the team
• Produce high-quality maintainable code, test, collaboratively review, and ship it.
• Champion, role model, 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) as we scale globally and across new offices
