Samsara is looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Cloud Governance Platform team.

As a Senior Engineer you will contribute hands‑on to systems that need to be reliable and secure at scale, taking ownership of your components end‑to‑end. You will bring strong engineering judgment to design discussions, while looking to senior/staff engineers and your manager for guidance on cross‑team tradeoffs.
