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.

About the role:

At Samsara, we hire people passionate about building for the long term. As a Senior Technical Recruiter
, you will scale our R&D teams—including Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Product Management—with intention, urgency, and high standards.

In this role, you will be treated like an adult and measured on impact rather than activity. Success means maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio—hiring approximately 3–4 extraordinary people per quarter—while delivering a world-class experience that "woos" the best talent in the industry.

• Drive Proactive Talent Strategy: Build high-caliber pipelines through market mapping and long-range engagement programs, even when no active roles are open.
• Employ Creative Sourcing: Move beyond traditional methods by mapping talent networks and using direct outreach to engage top-tier candidates who aren't on the open market.
• Optimize Hiring Processes: Proactively identify and resolve friction points to simplify the hiring journey and bring structure to ambiguous searches.
• Collaborate as One Team: Support a "team-first" culture that rejects rigid candidate ownership rules in favor of collective success and honest feedback.
• Apply Innovation: Utilize AI and modern tools thoughtfully to work smarter, move fast without cutting corners, and maintain a relentless focus on quality.
