Director, Product Management - Vehicle Platform

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. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

Telematics is Samsara’s second largest (and original) business. Our product is used by customers of all sizes and in a variety of industries throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. We help customers manage their fleet operations, with real-time tracking and data gathered from vehicles (and sensors) in the field and ingested into our cloud-based platform. Through features spanning routing, maintenance, fuel management, electrification and sustainability, analytics/reporting, mobile device management, compliance with ELD regulations, and extensive 3rd party integrations with our APIs, we are the comprehensive solution and platform for the world of physical operations.

In this role, you will own the Vehicle Platform that powers Samsara’s 1.2M+ vehicle gateways in the field – from firmware functionality that runs on the gateway, including how we collect diagnostic data from vehicle systems and interoperate with connected devices, all the way to our cloud‑based Dashboard experience where customers leverage vehicle data, insights, and the downstream features that depend on your team’s platform (e.g. Maintenance, Sustainable Fleet Management, EV features, etc).

We are looking for a technical Product leader with demonstrated experience creating and executing strategy in complex areas that require analytical understanding, subject matter expertise, working through uncertainty, and ultimately staying focused on building for the long-term with steady progress.

This is a remote position open to candidates in the U.S. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
