WHO WE ARE:

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing, and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale. Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Staff Design Engineer at Samsara, you will provide critical technical design expertise and execution for strategic initiatives, delivering end-to-end experiences that impact customers and support key business objectives. You'll own design and interaction quality for our AI platform — shaping how intelligent, agentic experiences look, feel, and behave across every surface. This role sits at the intersection of exceptional visual craft, interaction design, and engineering — you'll bridge design and engineering, understand how AI-powered products are built, and help elevate the overall polish and craft bar for how they're designed, implemented, and shipped. You bring strong systems thinking and high visual and interaction quality — not just aesthetics, but patterns that work in production. You're comfortable with vibe coding and AI-assisted design tooling, and you use these fluently to prototype, validate, and ship. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering, collaborate directly with customers, and be expected to influence strategy and ship exceptionally polished, well-built designs that make operations more efficient, safe, and sustainable.
