In this role, you will:

• Lead and own ongoing operation and maintenance of Samsara’s threat modeling program, ensuring consistent execution of processes.

• Work closely with the Vulnerability Technical Program Manager to generate and distribute monthly and quarterly compliance reports.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to track and support the remediation of identified vulnerabilities, providing guidance on best practices.
• Participate in security incident investigations related to high-profile vulnerabilities, helping gather data and assess potential impact on Samsara infrastructure.
• Contribute to documentation and process improvements to streamline risk management workflows.
• Champion Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) in daily work.
• Be regularly on call to support.
