Samsara

<div>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.</div>About the role:
Want to build the data foundation powering AI and self-serve analytics at scale? As part of Samsara's Marketing Data and Analytics (MDA) Engineering team, you will shape the technical roadmap alongside our BI and Data Science peers. You will architect core Databricks pipelines, Gold Layer tables, and semantic models, turning ambitious, ambiguous business challenges into high-value data products, autonomous agents, and cross-functional automation.
This role is open to candidates residing in the US.
You should apply if:
<ul>
<li>You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact – helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.</li>
<li>You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. 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.</li>
<li>You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.</li>
<li>You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best. </li>
</ul>
In this role, you will:
<ul>
<li>Partner on defining the strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for MDA's data and AI foundation.</li>
<li>Architect and own Samsara's marketing data infrastructure: ETL/ELT pipelines, Databricks Gold Layer tables, and the core data models that power segmentation, targeting, automation, and analytics.</li>
<li>Design the semantic layers, data dictionaries, and structured documentation that enable self-serve BI and conversational analytics, partnering with the BI team to ensure core sales and marketing KPIs are built on trusted, well-modeled data.</li>
<li>Translate ambiguous business questions from Marketing, Sales, and R&amp;D into clear requirements and scalable solutions, working autonomously without dedicated PM support and influencing decisions with data and sound reasoning.</li>
<li>Lead complex, cross-team initiatives end to end: stand up new data pipelines and integrations quickly, manage risk across interdependent teams, and own the reliability and data quality of what ships.</li>
<li>Serve as the senior technical lead for the team's hardest problems: raise the bar for engineering quality and code review, remove bottlenecks that slow multiple teams, and mentor engineers and analysts. </li>
<li>Drive the strategic use of AI to solve ambiguous, high-impact problems: build AI-enabled data products and agents, with the integrations, retrieval pipelines, and evaluation practices that keep them reliable and trustworthy.</li>
<li>Identify and automate manual workflows with AI across Marketing and GTM teams, taking ideas from concept to prototype to production and influencing org roadmaps.</li>
<li>Ship high-quality Python and SQL, increasingly by directing agentic coding tools, while holding a high bar for reviewing and verifying AI-generated work before it reaches production.</li>
<li>Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.</li>
</ul>
Minimum requirements for the role:
<ul>
<li>8+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or AI engineering, including deep hands-on data engineering experience.</li>
<li>Expert-level Python and SQL, with strong hands-on data modeling and DBT experience.</li>
<li>Deep experience with data warehouse and lakehouse architectures, ETL/ELT, and the modern data stack, including hands-on Databricks (or similar, such as Snowflake or BigQuery).</li>
<li>Experience building semantic layers and structured documentation optimized for AI ingestion and agentic workflows.</li>
<li>Agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) are part of your regular workflow, and you verify and take ownership of AI-generated output.</li>
<li>Experience building, shipping, evaluating, and monitoring LLM or agent systems in production.</li>
<li>Track record of leading complex, cross-team data initiatives, including independent requirements gathering with technical and non-technical stakeholders.</li>
<li>Experience supporting Marketing, Sales, or Product teams.</li>
</ul>
An ideal candidate also has:
<ul>
<li>Experience working with Databricks and building AI Agents within the ecosystem. </li>
<li>Software engineering background beyond data or AI engineering, with a track record of turning ambiguous, unfamiliar problems into well-architected, delivered solutions.</li>
<li>Expertise in data visualization and building dashboards for sales and marketing KPIs.</li>
<li>Familiarity with go-to-market data and systems: CRM (e.g., Salesforce), marketing automation, web analytics, and MarTech tools.</li>
<li>Experience building interactive applications with Streamlit, Claude workflows, or web frameworks.</li>
<li>Data science, machine learning, or predictive analytics experience.</li>
<li>Comfort working in an exploratory environment, testing and iterating on new data sources and methodologies.</li>
