Senior Software Engineer II

8+ years of software engineering experience, including ownership of products from concept through production

Strong programming fundamentals (Golang, Python, or similar)

Experience building products on top of LLMs or AI agent platforms

Experience designing reliable, distributed backend systems that support multi-step, asynchronous workflows

Experience designing backend systems that serve edge, embedded, or resource-constrained clients

Experience with quality and safety considerations for AI-driven systems: validating outputs, structured responses, retries/fallbacks, and monitoring

The In-Vehicle Experience team at Samsara built its foundation at the edge: six firmware engineers shipping the software that runs on dash cams in hundreds of thousands of vehicles.

Now the roadmap is expanding into AI-powered voice agents, real-time audio orchestration, and driver feedback systems, and the team is standing up its software engineering function for the first time.

The problem space is unusual: a truck cab where a driver's attention is limited, multiple AI-driven systems are competing to speak, and every decision has to be right the first time.

Today, these products don't exist yet.

You'll define what to build, design the systems behind it, and ship it.

You'll work primarily in backend systems that orchestrate agentic, voice, and real-time experiences running at the edge.
