About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform, you will lead the design and development of core platform capabilities that power Samsara’s next generation of AI-driven experiences. You’ll focus on building scalable, reliable systems that enable multi-step AI workflows, model execution, and integrations across products, rather than individual features. This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems and applied AI, where correctness, extensibility, and operational excellence matter as much as speed.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve core AI platform capabilities that enable teams to develop, run, and scale GenAI-powered applications across Samsara.
- Design and implement shared execution patterns, APIs, and services that support multi-step AI workflows and system integrations.
- Develop reliable, extensible backend systems that power AI-driven experiences used across the sales funnel and beyond.
- Work hands-on across the stack, from backend services and execution infrastructure to integration with AI models and tooling.
- Collaborate closely with AI engineers, data scientists, product partners, and sales operators to turn emerging AI use cases into production-ready platform capabilities.
Requirements
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience (excluding internships/contracts), with a strong emphasis on building and operating large-scale, production backend or platform systems.
- Hands-on experience building and operating GenAI-powered systems in production, including integration with large language models (LLMs) or similar AI services.
- Experience designing or implementing GenAI workflows such as prompt orchestration, tool execution, routing, or multi-step reasoning pipelines.
- Proven experience designing and implementing distributed systems that support multi-step execution, asynchronous workflows, and well-defined service contracts.
- Strong proficiency in backend programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, Go, or similar) and experience building reliable services with clear input/output schemas.
- Familiarity with GenAI quality and safety considerations, such as validation of model outputs, structured responses, retries/fallbacks, and basic evaluation or monitoring approaches.
- Strong product sense and ability to work in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
- Located in and authorized to work in the United States.
Skills
- Expert in Python
- Expert in GenAI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI SDK, MCP, etc.)

- Experience integrating with vector databases, retrieval systems, or streaming voice/chat pipelines.
- A track record of leading major technical initiatives or mentoring engineers in high-growth teams.
