Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure Platform

Samsara is seeking an experienced Staff software engineer focusing on infrastructure to join our Infrastructure team. The Infrastructure team's goal is to continually improve the reliability, performance, observability, and efficiency of the infrastructure and microservices that power Samsara's cloud platform. We create the foundations that our product teams build upon to rapidly experiment and iterate on new products and features.

You'll be a thought leader on a team that maintains a product we provide to the rest of engineering, like storage, container orchestration, and ingestion. You'll make decisions with a significant impact on Samsara. There is a lot of work to do to make Samsara engineers' work easier and our platform even more reliable than it is today, and we'd love for you to be part of it. We're close to the people using our systems, so we constantly get feedback that we can use to make them better.

In this role, you will:

• Architect, design and develop software and tools for managing hundreds of microservices and databases.
• Continuously improve our observability stack and collaborate with product teams to identify opportunities to improve efficiency and optimize performance.
• Design and build infrastructure to support the development of highly available real-time streaming of data from Samsara's connected devices and to support the connectivity of millions of edge devices colocated with customer equipment.
• Act as a multiplier for the team, elevating the impact and output of every team member.
• Build a great customer experience for people using your infrastructure.
• Influence the vision and roadmap for infrastructure to support our rapid growth.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles as we scale globally and across new offices.
• Contribute to Samsara's engineering brand by representing Samsara in external-facing forums.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of experience on infrastructure-focused teams.
• Mastery of programming/coding practices.
• Expertise working with web services at massive scale deployed on Cloud providers such as AWS or Azure.

An ideal candidate also has:

• 12+ years of relevant industry experience in software development.
• Enjoys leading and mentoring engineers to think about systems - their life cycles, edge cases, and failure modes.
• Enjoys fostering collaboration among engineers with different focuses (frontend, mobile, firmware, vision, ML).
• Is an expert in writing high quality, performant and maintainable code in a modern programming language.
• Knows their way around a UNIX shell and a Linux operating system.
