Manager II, Software Engineering
Samsara · San Francisco - SF9
About this role
**Who we are** Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud—helping organizations that depend on physical operations harness IoT data to deliver actionable insights and improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and build product solutions such as Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. --- **About the role** Samsara sits at the intersection of hardware, software, AI, and the physical world. The platform processes 25+ trillion data points annually from IoT sensors, cameras, and connected devices. We’re still early in turning that data into the products that will define how physical operations run—and we’re hiring Engineering Managers to build the teams that shape what comes next. This role is **remote** and open to candidates residing in the **US or Canada**. **Relocation assistance is not provided.** --- **You should apply if:** - You want to impact the industries that run our world (real-world stakes beyond dashboards). - You want to build, not maintain (own problem spaces end to end with autonomy). - You want to work where AI meets the physical world (turn data into products customers love). - You believe customers are more than a number (close to end users; collaborate with product and customer-facing teams). - You believe great teams are the real product (hire, grow, and unlock ambition). --- **In this role, you will:** - Lead and grow a team of engineers (hire, coach, develop, manage performance; build ownership, quality, and velocity). - Own technically complex, mission-critical areas and drive execution with minimal hand-holding. - Define and drive technical strategy and roadmap for new products and platform capabilities (backend/services/APIs to customer-facing UI). - Guide full-stack feature design and shipping end to end, delivering AI-powered products across backend, frontend, and potentially mobile. - Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to translate ambiguous real-world problems into technical plans and measurable outcomes. - Oversee systems behind AI-driven products (data ingestion, APIs, operator workflows) and stay close enough to guide architecture and tradeoffs. - Raise the bar across engineering through design reviews, hiring standards, mentorship, and setting expectations for quality and craft. - Champion and embed Samsara’s cultural principles as we scale globally. --- **Minimum requirements:** - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. - 8+ years of experience in software design and development, including building/operating production systems at scale. - 3+ years of experience directly managing software engineers (hiring, performance management, career development). - Strong technical fundamentals across backend services, APIs, and frontend (web or mobile) to guide architecture and review designs. - Familiarity with modern languages/frameworks (e.g., Go, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, or similar). - Experience leading cross-team/cross-org projects from inception through rollout in ambiguous environments. - Experience building or leading teams that build AI-powered or data-driven products (you don’t need to train models, but you can productize AI capabilities). - Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executives. - A track recor
