About the role:

Samsara is hiring a Frontend-leaning Full Stack developer for the Web Platform team. The charter of the team is to accelerate feature development within Samsara’s web product by maintaining a high-quality frontend developer experience, owning common frameworks, shepherding/up-leveling our Design System, ensuring overall frontend health, and building a small set of features that cross-team boundaries.

Our team is currently staffed with several senior engineers along with one staff engineer. There are plenty of experienced folks to learn from. We’re looking for an experienced full-stack engineer who has a strong interest in front-end development to come join us!

This role is open to candidates residing in the US except Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington DC, and Washington.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.

In this role, you will: 

• Solve complex problems and own the success of your solutions as you architect, build, test, and deliver full-stack products.
• Communicate, collaborate, and develop with engineers, other platform teams, product teams, product managers, designers, and support teams.
• Build upon skills and knowledge across a range of technologies such as Go, GraphQL, Typescript, React, and MySQL. Due to the nature of the role, previous experience with React is required, but experience with the other technologies is not required.
• Own the operational health of production systems as we build for the future scale of an ever-growing customer base.
• Make an impact on our core architecture, roadmap, and the wider engineering community.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.

• You have at least a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or similar, or corresponding level of relevant education.

• You have knowledge of designing, architecting, and developing applications using JavaScript/Typescript and React.
• Experience working with Designers, PMs, and other developers to ship E2E features to production environments.
