About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Safety Detection Precision team, you will help bridge the gap between AI detection of safety risks and customers' expectations for actionable feedback. You will build core systems to review detections, intelligently identify ambiguous cases, and automate triage. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys shaping ambiguous, high-impact systems end-to-end and influencing customer trust in Samsara's Safety products.

Responsibilities

Build and evolve core systems that review safety detections and determine which events are surfaced to customers.
Improve detection precision by developing intelligent approaches to identifying ambiguous cases, deflecting low-value reviews, and automating triage where confidence is high.
Work at the intersection of backend systems, data, and AI-driven decisioning to improve product quality and review efficiency.
Partner closely with product, design, AI, and ML infra to turn real-world review outcomes into better model feedback loops and higher-quality safety detections.
Own complex projects end-to-end, from shaping the approach and technical design through rollout, measurement, and iteration in production.
Use modern AI-assisted engineering workflows pragmatically to accelerate prototyping, implementation, debugging, and iteration while maintaining strong engineering judgment, reliability, and code quality.
Raise the bar for quality, operability, and engineering clarity across a critical part of Samsara’s Safety platform.

Requirements

4+ years of software development experience, primarily in backend or distributed systems.
Experience on a product engineering team shipping systems that solve real customer problems.
Demonstrable focus on customer experience, with the ability to connect technical decisions to customer value.
AI-first engineer who consistently uses modern AI coding and reasoning tools to improve engineering efficiency, accelerate delivery, and raise code quality, while applying strong judgment to validate outputs and maintain a high bar for correctness, maintainability, and reliability.
Strong programming and software engineering fundamentals, with experience building production systems in at least one modern programming language.
Experience designing and building large-scale, high-throughput systems.
Experience operating in a data led and data backed environment.
Strong cross-team and cross-functional communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions clearly and constructively.
