Engineering Manager, Asset Maintenance

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:

Asset Maintenance is a brand new product at Samsara! This team is building a platform that combines the power of digitization, intuitive UI, and centralized data to accelerate digital transformation and modernize customer operations. We have a fully hired development team and the next year will be full of exciting twists and turns in our roadmap as we get new information and sprint towards going to market.

On our full-stack Asset Maintenance team, you’ll lead a tight-knit group of engineers that values a quick feedback loop with customers, and prioritizes speed and quality of execution. You’ll find success here if you thrive in an environment with multiple, often ambiguous, projects running simultaneously and are familiar with leading your engineers through taking full ownership of the projects they tackle. This is a space for those who enjoy close collaboration with teammates and a strong focus on customers, and are motivated by seeing the direct impact of their work on meeting customer needs. Your ideal team is staffed with strong talent but balances its intensity with a generous environment of collaboration and camaraderie.

This role is open to candidates residing in Canada or the US except the San Francisco Bay Area and NYC Metro Area.

• 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.
