Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, a platform enabling organizations to harness IoT data for actionable insights across physical operations including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing.
As a Staff Application Security Engineer, you will drive the overarching technical direction for Samsara's application security and vulnerability management programs. This is a high-visibility role where you'll influence a broad surface area while retaining flexibility to dive deep into critical domain focus areas as security priorities evolve.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead the strategy, operation, and continuous improvement of Samsara's vulnerability management program and other core application security initiatives—defining processes rather than just executing them.
- Own and drive down mean time to remediate (MTTR) across the vulnerability backlog as SLAs tighten.
- Build and champion automation and tooling that scale vulnerability detection and response across cloud, firmware/IoT, and corporate systems.
- Set technical and architectural direction for the program, translating leadership's strategic priorities into concrete execution plans.
- Drive remediation by building trust with engineering teams and providing clear, actionable guidance.
- Mentor and level up other engineers on secure design and remediation practices, serving as a technical voice when priorities are unclear.
- Communicate risk and remediation tradeoffs to engineering leadership in actionable terms.
- Participate in security incident investigations involving high-profile vulnerabilities.
- Be regularly on call to support critical vulnerability response.
- Champion and embed Samsara's cultural principles as the company scales globally.
Samsara processes 25+ trillion data points annually across thousands of connected devices. The Application Security team protects this vast footprint end-to-end, spanning cloud services, internal systems, and firmware running on IoT hardware in the field. This role offers the opportunity to impact industries that power the global economy while working with a high-caliber team in a hyper-growth environment.
