Who we are
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.
Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring.

You’ll foster a culture of sourcing, strengthen recruiter judgment, and act as a trusted consultant to senior leaders. You’ll champion quality over speed, drive adoption of new recruiting tools and AI solutions from our programs team, and ensure every hire raises the bar. If you're energized by developing recruiting talent, building long-term pipelines, and influencing Samsara’s next chapter of growth, we’d love to connect.
