About the role:We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build the core platform that will make Samsara "agentic." This platform enables agentic development across the company by coordinating intelligent agents to automate complex tasks.
You'll work on a foundational system that scales from a small set of specialized agents today to dozens of agents in production over the next year.
This is zero-to-one work: you will help define core primitives, solve hard systems problems, and build service components that other teams will rely on. We work on the full stack behind the agents including: greenfield products, modalities, internal tooling, evaluations, and observability.
Our final interview stage is a full-day, in-person onsite at our SF office. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate face-to-face with our senior technical leaders and dive deep into the hard problems we are solving.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US or Canada. 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:- Build core infrastructure for multi-agent orchestration, including task planning, coordination, execution, and recovery
- Define and implement platform primitives and abstractions that enable internal teams to build and deploy new agents
- Design reliable backend services and APIs for agent discovery, state management, scheduling, and observability
- Architect systems to support scale, resilience, and long-running workflows across multiple concurrent agents
- Collaborate with internal teams building agents to refine APIs, tooling, and operational feedback loops
- Drive technical decisions in a high-ambiguity, early-stage environment where requirements evolve rapidly
- Own systems end to end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production operation
- 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
Minimum requirements for the role:- 4+ years of Software Engineering experience
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production systems
- Senior-level experience with high-scale backend or distributed systems
- Proficiency in Python
- Strong system design skills and production reliability mindset
- Comfortable working across the stack as needed
- Ability to operate in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
An ideal candidate also has:- Experience with Go
- Experience with agentic or autonomous systems, orchestration platforms, workflow engines, or automation infrastructure
- Familiarity with observability tooling, distributed tracing, and event-driven systems
- Experience designing APIs and internal tooling used by other engineering teams
