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:
This is a defining opportunity for a Principal / Staff Product Manager to serve as the Product Visionary for the next generation of our Video-Based Safety platform.
Safety is Samsara’s most critical value proposition, and this role sits at the absolute cutting edge of Applied AI and Computer Vision. We are looking for an inventor and leader to define a new paradigm for industrial safety. You will be responsible for defining the 3-5 year platform vision and architecture that leverages our trillion-scale data footprint to solve problems that no other company can.
You are expected to operate at the highest levels of ambiguity, defining the intersection of Computer Vision, edge computing, backend data science, and user workflow. Your product decisions will have a measurable, positive impact on saving lives and driving multi-hundred-million dollar growth trajectories for the company. This is a chance to move beyond execution and take on a mission that defines the future of AI for one of the fastest-growing companies in the world.
To better understand the scale and mission of this team, we encourage you to review the Samsara Cameras product overview here, and watch our SVP of Safety, Johan Land, discuss our AI-powered safety platform here.

We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.

Set the technical direction for the next generation of our AI/ML systems, driving complex product-engineering efforts in areas like foundation models, real-time edge processing, and large-scale data annotation pipelines.
Influence executive leadership and cross-functional teams on critical resource allocation, long-term investments, and strategic partnerships required to deliver your vision.
