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:
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager with a passion for Frontend developer experience to help lead the technical direction of our Frontend Architecture and Developer Experience. This team builds and maintains the infrastructure, tools, and workflows that power frontend development at Samsara—enabling hundreds of engineers to build, test, and ship high-quality software quickly and reliably.
As a technical leader, you’ll work across the engineering org to identify and eliminate friction in the development lifecycle, drive adoption of best practices, and architect scalable solutions for shared problems. You’ll help shape the future of frontend engineering at Samsara through hands-on work, mentorship, and long-term technical strategy.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

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.
In this role, you will:
Lead high-impact technical projects that improve frontend developer productivity, such as build performance, test infrastructure, or CI pipelines.
