About this role
Samsara is a pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, enabling organizations to harness IoT data for improved operations. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build the core platform for agentic development, focusing on multi-agent orchestration and scalable systems.
Responsibilities:
- Build core infrastructure for multi-agent orchestration, including task planning, coordination, execution, and recovery

- Design reliable backend services and APIs for agent discovery, state management, scheduling, and observability
- Architect systems to support scale, resilience, and long-running workflows across multiple concurrent agents
- Collaborate with internal teams building agents to refine APIs, tooling, and operational feedback loops
- Drive technical decisions in a high-ambiguity, early-stage environment where requirements evolve rapidly
- Own systems end to end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production operation
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices

- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production systems
- Senior-level experience with high-scale backend or distributed systems
- Proficiency in Python
- Strong system design skills and production reliability mindset
- Comfortable working across the stack as needed
- Ability to operate in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Experience with Go
- Experience with agentic or autonomous systems, orchestration platforms, workflow engines, or automation infrastructure
- Familiarity with observability tooling, distributed tracing, and event-driven systems
- Experience designing APIs and internal tooling used by other engineering teams
