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:
Our customers are faced with a constant stream of decisions every day to meet the commitments they have made to their own customers: which orders need to be delivered when, which driver is equipped to drive which truck, and how to balance delivering every order against fleet utilization and the profitability of their business..
As an engineer on the Route Planning team, you might work on a product that helps customers recover efficiency in their plans that has degraded with the addition of new customers or deal with the sudden influx of orders on the day of delivery. You will also help measure efficiency of the plans across our Routing products, including route execution and commercial navigation.
We are a rapidly scaling team that has found product market fit and is expanding to new verticals. We are looking for someone who will help us shape and build the next generation of Route Planning products

• You want to build for scale: With over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed to our global customers, you will work on a range of new and mature technologies driving scalable innovation for customers across industries driving the world's physical operations.
• 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.
• You believe customers are more than a number: Samsara engineers enjoy a rare closeness to the end user and you will have the opportunity to participate in customer interviews, collaborate with customer success and product managers, and use metrics to ensure our work is translating into better customer outcomes.

In this role, you will:
