Senior Software Engineer I- Route Execution - Samsara

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 Senior Software Engineer on Samsara’s Route Execution team, you’ll build the systems that power route planning, optimization, dispatch, and real-time tracking for fleets across logistics, field services, and delivery. You’ll work across the stack, with an emphasis on distributed systems powering our dispatch state machine, to improve dispatcher tools, driver experiences, and scalable backend APIs that handle geospatial and real-time data at scale. You’ll partner with design, product, and mobile to ship reliable, performant features that customers use every day.

Our stack features Golang for backend services, GraphQL for data fetching, and TypeScript + React for our web client. We also use React Native for our mobile app. Direct experience with these technologies is not required.

Our final interview stage is a full-day, in-person onsite at our SF office. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate face-to-face with our senior technical leaders and dive deep into the hard problems we are solving.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US or Canada. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

In this role, you will:

• Develop scalable backend services that handle tracking and execution of hundreds of thousands of routes in real time, along with reporting and suggested optimizations to better utilize vehicles, drivers, and take optimal routes to accomplish their work.
• Create web interfaces that allow dispatchers and fleet managers to create and manage routes and deliveries for their entire organization from a single pane of glass.
• Implement APIs and integrations with TMS/ERP systems that process millions of route events a day.
