About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape and scale the Connected Workflows product. You will lead high-impact projects across product surfaces, backend systems, and platform integrations, while partnering closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional engineering teams.
As a senior engineer, you’ll be expected to drive technical direction, break down ambiguous product problems, mentor other engineers, and deliver reliable systems that support mission-critical customer workflows.
Responsibilities
- Design and build end-to-end Connected Workflows features across web, mobile, backend services, and platform integrations.
- Lead technical projects from discovery through rollout, including architecture, implementation, testing, observability, and launch.
- Improve the scalability, reliability, and extensibility of the Connected Workflows platform as usage grows across customers and product areas.
- Partner with Product and Design to turn customer needs into simple, powerful workflows for field and operations teams.
- Raise engineering quality through thoughtful code reviews, testing strategy, operational excellence, and mentorship.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles.
Requirements
Minimum:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Strong experience building production web applications and backend services.
- Proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Java, C#, or equivalent).
- Ability to lead complex, ambiguous projects across multiple systems and stakeholders.
- Strong product judgment and a customer-focused approach to engineering tradeoffs.
- Experience designing APIs, data models, permissions, and scalable service boundaries.
- Comfort mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction without relying on authority.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional partners.
Preferred:
- Experience with React, TypeScript, Go, GraphQL, or mobile-backed product workflows.
- Experience building configurable platforms, workflow builders, connected workflows, automations, or low-code/no-code tools.
- Experience with operational products used by frontline workers.
- Experience improving reliability, observability, and performance of customer-facing systems.
