The Safety Engineering - Triage & Insights Team owns and builds the systems and customer-facing products across web, mobile, and API surfaces that help fleets identify unsafe driving behaviors and recognize positive driving habits. We ingest sensor and media data, detect risky behaviors, and serve as the source of truth for safety events, from automations and the safety inbox to reports, safety scores, and driver coaching. We are building the next generation of safety products to be AI-native. Our team is developing LLM-powered workflows, agentic systems, and conversational experiences that help customers move from manual incident review and reactive coaching toward proactive, intelligent, and self-serve safety operations. That includes AI-driven driver experiences that go beyond static reports into live, two-way interaction, and agent-assisted tools that let safety managers shape the way they triage and act on their data. As a Software Engineer II on this team, you will own customer-facing features from concept to production. You will partner closely with Product, Design, and ML and AI engineering teams to evolve our products, refine workflows based on customer input, and deliver scalable, AI-powered solutions that make the world's operations safer, smarter, and more efficient. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US and Canada. 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:

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: Own customer-facing features and platform capabilities end to end, from design and implementation through rollout and follow-through in production, including taking AI prototypes to production at scale. Architect, build, test, and deliver full-stack products across reliable services, APIs, and web and mobile experiences, using technologies such as Golang, GraphQL, TypeScript, React, React Native, and MySQL. Previous experience with these technologies is not required. Build AI-native product experiences: integrate LLMs into safety workflows, develop agent tooling and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and design the interactions between AI agents and the product UI. Design and run evaluations and build human-in-the-loop feedback loops that continuously improve the accuracy, precision, and reliability of the insights we deliver. Use AI coding tools and agents in your own workflow to plan, build, and ship faster, and help shape how our team develops software in an AI-assisted world. Make thoughtful technical tradeoffs across speed, maintainability, scalability, cost, and customer impact. Own the operational health of the production systems you build, improving reliability and scalability as our customer base grows.

Minimum requirements for the role: 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building, shipping, and operating reliable customer-facing production systems. Strong programming fundamentals in a language such as Golang, Java, or Python, with experience writing clean, maintainable code and reviewing peers' code for correctness and clarity. Experience developing features or end-to-end solutions across backend services, APIs, and modern web applications. Experience or demonstrated interest in AI-native development, including integrating LLMs into products, building agentic workflows, or running evaluations to improve the quality of AI-generated output. Experience using data, metrics, logs, tests, or tracing to investigate issues, validate releases, and improve reliability. Ability to independently own moderately complex projects, with the ability to estimate, communicate, and deliver on milestones. Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and cross-functional partners. A growth mindset, strong product intuition, and excitement for learning new technologies and building impactful customer experiences.
