You are a team player: Working on our Samsara Engineering teams requires a mix of independent effort and collaboration. Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win – together.

In this role, you will:

Design and build automated reliability and self-healing systems that protect production at scale, including automated rollbacks, deploy safeguards, and fault mitigation, and deliver them as platform tooling that engineering teams across the company adopt for their own services.
Own and improve incident management tooling and on-call health. Reduce alert noise, surface actionable signals, and empower engineering teams to operate their services confidently with minimal operational burden.
Develop and evolve our observability infrastructure, including monitoring, alerting, SLOs, and performance regression detection, to give teams real-time, actionable visibility into system health and latency.
Contribute to AI-driven operational tooling that goes beyond triage, building toward autonomous remediation where AI detects issues, takes corrective action, and self-recovers with minimal human involvement.
Drive incident prevention by identifying systemic patterns and ruthlessly eliminating operational toil. You have deep empathy for on-call engineers and a bias toward making their lives better.
Partner directly with product engineering teams to diagnose reliability gaps, reduce their operational burden, and help them adopt best practices for running their services.
