Principal Product Manager

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

AI is moving off the screen and into physical operations and Samsara is building it. If you want to be a product manager enabling the transformation behind how the real world works, join us.

We connect the vehicles, equipment, sites, and people behind the physical operations that power our economy. Our platform collects more than 30 trillion data points a year from vehicles that travel 99.9% of U.S. roads, and we design our own hardware to capture it. That mix of hardware, real-world data, and AI is why we're building things no one else can. We don't start with a model; we start with the data, embedded hardware, and deep customer understanding that make AI valuable.

And it's working. Samsara crossed $2.1 billion in ARR last quarter, growing 30% year over year, and we've been GAAP profitable for four straight quarters. Adoption of our AI agents has grown 7x since June, and voice agents overtook chat within four weeks of launch. We're just getting started.

This is a remote role is open to candidates residing in the US.

Why the work matters

Physical operations is tough. The work is repetitive, it's hard to hire for, and when something goes wrong, people get hurt. Our customers make thousands of decisions a day about whether people get home safely and whether deliveries and essential services keep running.

How we hire

We hire product managers into Samsara first and match you with the team and problem where you'll have the most impact. Problem spaces evolve consistently here and what's most important is your excitement about what and how Samsara is building.

You'll meet our Product leaders early in the process and your ultimate manager toward the end, so you get a real view of the whole org.

What you'll do

• Spend time in the field with customers, find the problems that matter most, and rally the troops with a strong perspective on what to build next.
• Build with AI every day: prototype, test, ship fast, and keep pushing what the newest models can do.
• Work across hardware, software, and AI teams to ship products customers pay for.
• Own outcomes end to end, measured in customer impact and revenue.

You'll thrive here if

• You've shipped products customers pay for and can show, with numbers, the impact you personally drove.
• You use AI tools daily and get excited when a new model changes what's possible.
• You find your own problems to work on and take full ownership of the outcome.
• You have strong commercial instincts and want to understand how the product gets sold.
• You have conviction and can move a room quickly, but low ego in changing your mind when someone else is right (or more right).

If that sounds like you, let's go.
