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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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: The Safety AI team builds end-to-end computer vision and machine learning for Samsara’s AI dash cameras – delivering real-time driver safety insights and in-cab alerts. As a Sr. Manager of Machine Learning, you will lead teams that fuse on-device computer vision with IMU, GPS, and vehicle diagnostic data to detect, interpret, and surface actionable safety events and continuous risk signals. You’ll own the model lifecycle across edge and cloud – data curation, training, evaluation (including shadow/online experiments), deployment, monitoring, and iteration—and develop the core AI platform that powers these capabilities at fleet scale. You’ll partner closely with firmware, full-stack, and Platform teams to ship reliable, low-latency features, grounding detections in the “rules of the road” (e.g., stop signs and speed limits) to maximize precision and customer impact. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area..
