Staff Software Engineer, Routing

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 the role

Are you interested in building solutions that help our customers deliver their cargo safely and efficiently while cutting fleet costs? The Routing team at Samsara is building the world's best products for supporting drivers and empowering dispatchers to orchestrate large fleets of light and heavy vehicles.

As a Staff Engineer, you'll set technical direction across the full routing surface area — route optimization, dispatch systems, real-time tracking, and integrations with customer ERP/TMS systems. We're an active 0-to-1 team modeling our customers' real-world operations: delivering to hard-to-reach locations on busy urban streets, maximizing fleet capacity by recommending the right vehicles, and planning for both familiar routes and surprise deliveries — all while staying compliant with the ever-changing rules of commercial navigation. The work leans heavily on distributed systems that handle geospatial and real-time data at scale. You'll mentor senior engineers and partner with product, design, and mobile to ship features customers use every day.

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

This role is remote and open to candidates based in the US.
