Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, a platform enabling organizations in physical operations—agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, manufacturing—to harness IoT data for actionable insights and operational improvement.
The Data Platform team owns and develops the core analytical infrastructure across Samsara, including the data lake, distributed compute platform, and systems that move data from production stores into the lakehouse. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will design, build, and operate reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure for ingesting, processing, cataloging, and accessing petabytes of data.
You will work on foundational systems that enable engineers, data scientists, analysts, and product teams to build customer-facing features, train models, develop operational insights, and support the company's long-term AI and analytics roadmap. This is a specialized software engineering role focused on data infrastructure—not analytics or business data engineering. You will work on systems such as Spark and Databricks infrastructure, Delta Lake on S3, data replication from RDS and DynamoDB, orchestration and metadata services, internal data libraries, and infrastructure tooling across the big data ecosystem.
Key responsibilities include: designing and operating high-scale data ingestion and replication systems from production data stores into the data lakehouse; building and maintaining reliable, scalable infrastructure capable of handling petabytes of data; improving reliability, observability, scalability, security, and developer experience of the Spark and Databricks platform; developing internal libraries, APIs, frameworks, and tooling in Go and Python; working on foundational data lake and lakehouse technologies including Delta Lake, data catalogs, metadata services, and orchestration systems; and collaborating with infrastructure, product engineering, data science, analytics, security, and data engineering teams.
The ideal candidate is a software engineer with deep experience building and operating production data platforms, distributed systems, or large-scale ingestion infrastructure. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada; relocation assistance is not provided.
