Job description
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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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.
About the role:
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial, technically-minded Product Manager to take one of our largest and fastest-growing businesses - Video-based Safety - to the next level. This is a high-ownership role launching new safety products for our customers, leveraging data from our millions of deployed devices.
The Safety team is pioneering the application of AI to make physical operations safer at global scale. We build intelligent systems that combine computer vision, sensor data, road context, and behavioral patterns to detect risk and prevent accidents before they happen for some of the largest fleets in the world. In this role, you’ll leverage cutting-edge VLMs and LLMs to rapidly expand our understanding of the road and unlock new business opportunities. You’ll be empowered to experiment boldly, challenge conventional thinking, and demonstrate the transformative potential of AI tools across the organization.
We’re looking for someone with a high degree of customer-obsession and a passion for changing the physical world. The ideal candidate has spent time as a founder or early startup engineer / PM with experience applying AI/ML to solve customer problems, and has deeply integrated AI tools into their daily workflows. You’ll collaborate closely with our dedicated teams in Engineering and Design, as well as work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to propel the next wave of growth for our video-based safety product.
Our ambitions for this product are high, and we’re excited to invite you to join us!
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States.
In this role, you will:
- Work with our talented engineering teams to launch new products to help drive a fast-growing, at-scale business with $1 Billion+ in ARR.
- Collaborate closely with customers to deeply understand their business, their product feedback, and inform our roadmap.
- Identify new product opportunities and own them from concept to launch.
- Lead by example in using AI tools to accelerate product development, customer research, and decision-making
- Partner with our Sales team to help close strategic customer accounts as needed.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural values (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally.
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.
- You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, innovative ideas for our customers.
- You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 2+ years in a product management or product-oriented engineering role.
- Demonstrated experience and passion working on products that leverage AI/ML/CV.
- Strong technical background, ability to grasp technical concepts, and establish credibility with engineers.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action - you’d rather try something and learn than wait for perfect information
- Experience using LLMs/VLMs to enhance your own productivity and problem-solving approach
- Bias-to-action and hands-on experience delivering business results.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-quality product experiences on tight timelines and in line with our business aspirations.
An ideal candidate also has:
- Entrepreneurial experience.
- Bachelors or Masters degree in a technical field.
- Deep experience creating and growing products leveraging video data.
