Hybrid
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the technical strategy for CAM’s predictive maintenance platform , including architecture for data ingestion, feature engineering, model serving, and customer-facing workflows.
- Lead the design and implementation of new predictive models and data products , working closely with ML/data partners to move from proof-of-concept to robust, monitored, and continuously improving production systems.
- Own and evolve large-scale, distributed systems that process high-volume time-series and event data from Samsara devices and third-party sources, ensuring reliability, performance, and cost efficiency as we grow.
- Collaborate across the stack (backend, web, and potentially mobile) to deliver end-to-end features—APIs, data models, business logic, and intuitive UI flows—that bring predictive insights into day-to-day maintenance workflows.
- Mentor and multiply other engineers on the team through code reviews, design reviews, technical coaching, and by setting high standards for quality, reliability, and velocity.
Requirements
- 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.
- Connected Asset Maintenance (CAM) is one of Samsara’s fastest-growing software bets: a brand-new product area focused on transforming asset and fleet maintenance from reactive, paper-based workflows into AI-driven, predictive maintenance programs .
- In this role, you will lead the design and evolution of our predictive maintenance platform, partnering closely with product, data science/ML, design, and customers to build and scale high-impact capabilities for our customers.
- You’ll be responsible for shaping the architecture for ML-powered features — from time-series modeling and data pipelines to APIs and customer-facing workflows — and for raising the engineering bar across the team.
- You are a life-long learner: We have ambitious goals. Every Samsarian has a growth mindset as we work with a wide range of technologies, challenges, and customers that push us to learn on the go.

- experience in software design and development, including building and operating production systems at scale.
- Strong programming fundamentals and deep proficiency in Python for backend and data/ML-related services. •
- Experience designing and operating distributed systems or large-scale microservices (e.g., event-driven architectures, time-series storage, streaming or batch data pipelines). Demonstrated
- experience leading cross-team or cross-org projects from inception through rollout, including managing ambiguity, driving alignment, and delivering measurable business impact.
- Proven ability to "sit with the customer" to deeply understand operational pain points, translating vague real-world maintenance challenges into high-impact technical
- requirements and intuitive AI-driven products.
- Master’s degree in Computer Science + Artificial Intelligence.
- experience with MLOps practices and tooling (e.g., model deployment, monitoring, versioning, experimentation platforms) in partnership with data/ML teams. •
- Experience with full-stack development using technologies such as Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, GraphQL, or similar modern stacks in large-scale SaaS applications.
- Background working with industrial, fleet, or equipment data (e.g., telematics, fault codes, work orders, inspections) and an interest in learning the maintenance domain in depth.
- All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.
Experience
- 3+ years building data-intensive or ML-backed products, such as forecasting systems, anomaly detection, recommendation systems, or other high-complexity predictive models (e.g., in fintech, health, reliability, or similar domains).
