Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform

About the role: Samsara’s Revenue Operations AI & Data Team is building the future of how we go to market — with intelligence, personalization, and speed. We’re a high-impact team of builders, scientists, and strategists focused on transforming sales operations through AI. Our mission is to help sellers reach the right customer at the right time with the right message — and to put everything they need at their fingertips, whether that’s data from Salesforce, context from a past call, or content that wins deals. As a Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform, you’ll lead the design and development of core platform capabilities that power Samsara’s next generation of AI-driven experiences. You’ll focus on building scalable, reliable systems that enable multi-step AI workflows, model execution, and integrations across products, rather than individual features. This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems and applied AI, where correctness, extensibility, and operational excellence matter as much as speed. You’ll partner closely with AI engineers, backend engineers, and cross-functional teams to shape shared execution patterns, define platform contracts, and evolve the foundations that support S+Engine and future AI use cases. You’ll be empowered to make architectural decisions, move fast on early iterations, and help turn emerging AI capabilities into a durable, production-grade platform that other teams can build on with confidence. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area.
