Help shape the technical direction of our developer platform — CI/CD, build systems, and the AI agents engineers interact with daily
Design and build AI agents that take real work off engineers' plates: coding, code review, test generation, release automation, and incident response
Scale our tooling so it can keep up as the engineering org grows, without sacrificing reliability or developer happiness
Standardize tools and practices so good ideas spread instead of getting reinvented on every team
Raise the technical bar through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship
Partner with engineering leadership on the bets worth making, and be honest about tradeoffs
Represent Samsara externally when it makes sense — talks, open source, helping us become a place great engineers want to work
Live out our cultural principles: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team
