About the role:
The Vehicle Connectivity team is responsible for building and operating features encompassing connectivity, accessories, and core business logic for Samsara's Vehicle Gateway (VG). We enable seamless integration between devices, vehicles, and the cloud. We deliver customer facing features requiring end to end ownership of implementation across firmware, backend, and frontend domains.
This is a full-stack role where you will work in an integrated firmware - fullstack team to deliver features that power the core connectivity of Samsara's telematics platform. The work you do ensures our devices remain securely and reliably connected in the field, supporting millions of IoT devices and mission-critical fleet operations worldwide.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States and Canada. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact-helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
