Flexible Working

At Samsara, we 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. For certain positions, being close to one of our offices or within a specific geographic area is important to facilitate collaboration, access to resources, or alignment with our service regions. In these cases, the job description will clearly indicate any working location requirements. Our goal is to ensure that all members of our team can contribute effectively, whether they are working on-site, in a hybrid model, or fully remotely. All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.

The data and AI team is a critical function within Business Technology.

Our mission is to enable integrated data layers for all of Samsara with the insights, tools, infrastructure to make data-driven decisions.

We are a growing team that loves all things data — composed of data engineers, AI engineers, architects, analysts, and data scientists.

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer II who brings a software engineer's mindset to data infrastructure.

This isn't just a pipeline-builder role — we're looking for someone who thinks in systems, builds platforms others can extend, and is excited about pushing the boundaries of what data engineering looks like in an AI-first world.

You'll manage data APIs, architect Spark-driven workflows at scale, design data platforms as products, and build the next generation of intelligent tooling including MCP servers and AI agents that automate and accelerate data engineering workflows.
