About this role

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 this role: Commercial Navigation helps fleets turn planned work into guided trips that are safe, efficient, and visible to the people running the operation.

We build navigation inside the Samsara Driver app and the supporting experiences around it: mobile guidance on the road, session review for fleet managers, fuel-aware routing, and safety-focused improvements that show up where drivers actually drive. The team has a real foundation in production, and there is still a lot of greenfield ahead as we expand what navigation means for commercial fleets. We are looking for a product-minded senior engineer who can own ambiguous problems end to end, make practical tradeoffs across surfaces, and ship work that holds up in the field.

You will contribute across mobile, backend services, and web as needed, with judgment about what matters most for customers rather than a fixed layer of the stack. This is a deeply technical problem space that blends real-time data, thoughtful UX, and platform-wide coordination to create a seamless experience under challenging conditions, like poor connectivity, dynamic job schedules, and constantly changing routes. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US and Canada.
