Description
Samsara is hiring a Senior Software Engineer II to join our Developer Experience team within the larger Developer Experience organization. We are responsible for the ‘outer-loop’ of the SDLC, with a dotted line to our sister team Dev Agents, who is responsible for the ‘inner-loop’.
We are building an AI-enabled software factory that transforms how Samsara moves code from pull request to production. We use AI to eliminate repetitive steps, shorten feedback loops, and help engineers spend more time on ensuring intent. Our systems provide AI-assisted PR auto-approvals, risk-aware reviews, and automated workflows that help changes become merge-ready.
In this role, you will:
- Help scale our in-house CI/CD systems to meet the needs of a rapidly more efficient engineering organization and increasing pull-request throughput.
- Reduce tech debt using efficient AI workflows that would otherwise be cost prohibitive in a non-AI workflow.
- Design and build deployment safeguards that protect production at scale, making use of AI to monitor and fix issues.
- Build the observability, evaluation, and feedback systems used to improve our AI-driven automation.
- Serve as a thought leader for using AI to increase engineering productivity while maintaining a high bar for safety, quality, and signal over AI-generated slop.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 8+ years of experience designing and building products in a software engineering team
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years of experience working on developer experience, CICD and/or platform engineering-focused teams
- Experience in building AI workflows, orchestration systems or other harnesses of AI
- Proven track record in architecting CICD systems, build and deploy platforms, and automated response workflows, Buildkite (or equivalent BYOC software).
The compensation range for this role is $154,200-$260,000 USD per year.
