Description For Staff Software Engineer - Routing

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their Routing organization, which is revolutionizing how commercial fleets operate through strategic route planning, live dispatch, and navigation. This role offers an opportunity to lead key architectural efforts across the Routing platform, working on sophisticated systems that impact real-world operations.

As a Staff Engineer, you'll be responsible for architecting and owning critical systems spanning route optimization, dispatch systems, commercial navigation, and ERP integrations. The position requires deep technical expertise combined with strong leadership skills, as you'll be influencing product direction, owning system-level design decisions, and driving complex projects end-to-end.

The role offers significant impact potential, working with over 2.3 million IoT devices deployed globally. You'll be building scalable solutions that handle dynamic constraints, operational rules, and geospatial data, while working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across time zones. The position requires 10+ years of industry experience, with demonstrated success in Staff/Principal level roles.

What makes this opportunity unique is the direct impact on industries that power the global economy - from ensuring timely food delivery to grocery stores to helping workers return home safely. You'll work with both new and mature technologies, collaborate closely with customers, and be part of a team that's racing toward a connected operations vision.

The position offers competitive compensation ($157,360 - $281,000 USD) along with comprehensive benefits. This is a remote role open to candidates residing in the US, offering flexibility while maintaining strong team collaboration and impact.
