Software Engineer I - New Grad, SF

About this role

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:

Are you a recent or upcoming graduate ready to launch your career at the forefront of industrial IoT? Join us and help shape the future of connected operations. You will immediately dive into challenging, real-world projects with the freedom and responsibility of a full-time engineer. We believe in providing a greenfield opportunity for growth and a high degree of ownership from day one. You will build and innovate, making a tangible impact on our global customers. You'll also have access to the latest AI tools, with generous token allotments, giving you the leverage to ship more and learn faster.

At Samsara, New Grads can work on a wide range of high-impact engineering challenges across our connected operations platform. Depending on the team, a New Grad may help build the backend infrastructure that powers our IoT platform, scaling data ingestion and storage systems that support over 15,000 hardware assets and tens of thousands of customers around the world. They may also work across the full stack, creating intuitive user experiences that turn data from millions of devices into actionable insights, while partnering closely with product and design to rapidly iterate on features that deliver real customer value.

On the mobile side, a New Grad could help strengthen the infrastructure behind our React Native app, enabling feature teams to move quickly and build performant, maintainable products. For those focused on embedded software, projects may include building and maintaining software that runs directly on Samsara hardware, spanning areas like edge AI, multimedia frameworks, power management, and real-time data processing in demanding real-world environments.

Throughout the interview process, we will dig into your past experience, what you are most interested in learning next, and where you would be the best fit across our engineering teams.

Our engineering teams use Golang for backend development, TypeScript and React for the web client, GraphQL for data access, and React Native for mobile development. Direct experience with this exact stack is not required, but experience with similar technologies is strongly encouraged.

You should apply if…

• You want to impact the industries that run our world. The software you build will help 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 globally, you'll work on technology that powers physical operations at a scale most engineers never experience.

• You believe customers are more than a number. Our engineers are deeply invested in our customers and the daily problems they face. They visit customers in person to understand not just how Samsara helps them today, but where our products need to go next. You’ll participate in customer interviews, collaborate with success and product teams, and use metrics to ensure your work translates into real outcomes.

• You're curious and self-driven. You challenge yourself outside of class - hackathons, side projects, tearing apart how something works just because you want to understand it. You move fast, embrace new technology, and treat learning as constant.

• You're drawn to hard problems and own them end to end. You dig into complexity, research it thoroughly, and find the simplest solution that works - then see it through, holding yourself to a high standard along the way.

• You're AI-forward. You've woven AI into how you work, whether that's accelerating debugging, drafting code, or exploring unfamiliar problem spaces faster. You're quick to experiment and always looking for smarter ways to build.

• You're a collaborator. You work well independently and across cross-functional teams, and you're motivated by winning together, not just individually.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• Current Senior pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field, with an expected graduation date in Winter/Spring of 2027.

• This is a full-time, remote OR in-person hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in our San Francisco, CA office and 2 days working remotely.
