About the Team

The Connected Workflows team builds Samsara’s digital Connected Workflows platform, helping customers replace paper-based operational workflows with configurable, mobile-first Connected Workflows. Connected Workflows power critical work across safety, compliance, maintenance, operations, and field workflows, enabling drivers and frontline teams to collect structured data, trigger automations, and give back-office teams real-time visibility.

This team works across the full stack, including the Samsara dashboard, mobile experiences, backend services, workflow automation, permissions, reporting, and integrations with broader Samsara platform systems.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape and scale the Connected Workflows product. You will lead high-impact projects across product surfaces, backend systems, and platform integrations, while partnering closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional engineering teams.

As a senior engineer, you’ll be expected to drive technical direction, break down ambiguous product problems, mentor other engineers, and deliver reliable systems that support mission-critical customer workflows.

Connected Workflows is a key part of how Samsara customers digitize and automate their operations. The work on this team directly affects frontline teams completing critical workflows every day, and back-office teams relying on accurate, timely data to make decisions. A senior engineer on Connected Workflows will have meaningful influence over both the product experience and the technical foundation that supports future growth.
