About the role:

Our Telematics team takes real-time signals from our IoT devices deployed in vehicles (think: GPS, Engine RPM, Fuel Levels, and hundreds more) and processes them to help our customers make their vehicle fleets safer, greener, and more efficient.

As an Engineering Manager working in the Compliance group at Samsara, you will lead an engineering team that helps our customers stay compliant with driving regulations in different countries. You will hire and develop your team, define project plans and roadmaps, and work with your engineers to define next-generation technology across our platform. You will work closely with the product management and customer support teams to help improve the quality of our product.

The Compliance team is a cross-functional product engineering team that primarily works across backend, web, mobile, and Spark and collaborates closely with product managers, designers, firmware engineers, and customer support to build out our feature sets. The technology stack includes Typescript, React, ReactNative, Golang, GraphQL and Spark.

We are looking for a proactive, organised, and highly motivated engineering manager who enjoys being close to the detail. Creating and maintaining a culture of feedback, and making things happen while keeping things fun for the whole team, will be something you will strive to achieve and uphold.

You should apply if:

You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
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.

You are a team player: Working on our Samsara Engineering teams requires a mix of independent effort and collaboration. Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win—together.
