Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, which allows businesses that depend on physical operations to harness IoT (Internet of Things) data to develop actionable business insights and improve their operations. Founded in San Francisco in 2015, we now employ more than 1,600 people globally and have over 1.5 million active devices. Samsara also went public in December 2021 and we’re just getting started. 

Recent awards we’ve won include: 

  • #2 in the Financial Times’ Fastest Growing Companies in Americas list 2021
  • Named as a Best Place to Work in Built In 2022 
  • #19 in the Forbes Cloud 100 2021  
  • IoT Analytics Company of the Year in 2022’s IoT Breakthrough Winners 
  • Forbes Advisor named us the Best Solution for Large Companies - Fleet management software for 2022!

We're driving change in industries that are yet to fully embrace digital transformation. Physical operations make up a massive slice of the global economy but haven’t benefited from innovation and actionable information in the way that other sectors have. The potential for scale and impact is huge.

About the role:

The Samsara ML/CV team builds end-to-end machine learning and computer vision solutions for our customers as well as core ML infrastructure for Samsara. As a Senior ML Engineer you will be a tech leader and key contributor in building scalable ML infrastructure and tools. You will work closely with scientists as well as full-stack, firmware, and platform teams to deliver core infrastructure, services, and optimizations.

In this role, you will: 

  • Build and improve the accuracy of ML / CV models, including retraining and optimizing open-source models to solve Samsara-specific problems. 
  • Work with petabyte-scale data from Samsara camera and sensor devices to develop new models.
  • Research, adapt, and apply cutting edge techniques in CV and deep learning.
  • Optimize models for inference on the backend and/or on edge devices.
  • Partner with our hardware teams to design devices for optimal performance and cost.
  • Stay connected to industry and academic research and adopt novel technology that suits Samsara’s needs.
  • 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. 

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • BS or MS in Computer Science or other technical degree
  • 4+ years experience as an Applied Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, or similar role
  • Strong proficiency in one or more common languages (e.g., C++, Golang, Java, Python) 
  • Proficiency with common ML tools (e.g., Spark, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
  • Experience deploying and iteratively refining models using customer feedback loops
  • Comfortable with full-stack / backend development code to build a strong understanding of underlying data structures and other dependencies

An ideal candidate also has:

  • PhD in Computer Science or quantitative discipline (e.g., Applied Math, Physics, Statistics)
  • Experience building, deploying, and optimizing ML models on the edge
  • Experience building computer vision features
  • Expertise optimizing distributed model training with GPUs
