Improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy. Read Samsara's Culture Playbook 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: Samsara is the industry leader in AI for physical operations. We’re hiring a founding Machine Learning Engineer to join a growing Product ML organization at Samsara. This role pairs hands‑on ML systems work with product impact - you’ll design and ship customer‑facing ML features (including anomaly detection, crash‑risk scoring, predictive maintenance and more) using multimodal vehicle and telematics data. You’ll own architectural decisions (online serving, streaming/batch pipelines, features & infra tradeoffs) and partner closely with applied scientists to turn models into actionable products. Compensation bands are flexible for strong candidates; this is an opportunity to shape the MLE function and grow a team. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada. 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.
