About the role:

Samsara’s Release Management team is responsible for how features are created, gated, and delivered to both internal stakeholders and external customers. We build the systems and tooling that product managers and engineers use to move features through their lifecycle from internal visibility to beta, early adopters, and general availability (GA).

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the Release Management team, you will design and build the internal tools and customer-facing experiences that make feature lifecycles safe, scalable, and transparent. You will collaborate across product and engineering teams to ensure features are discoverable, gated appropriately, and delivered with minimal risk, while also shaping how customers interact with and adopt new features.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the design and development of internal and customer-facing systems that power feature visibility, gating, and lifecycle progression.
• Own and evolve the architecture of multiple services that underpin release management, balancing near-term delivery with long-term scalability.
• Work with data and storage systems to ensure release states, feature flags, and customer-facing visibility are tracked and reliable at scale.
• Collaborate with product managers and engineering leadership to influence roadmaps and set multi-quarter plans for release lifecycle tooling.
• Drive cross-team initiatives that improve feature discoverability, adoption, and reliability for customers.
• Mentor and guide engineers across the team, raising the bar on technical design, execution, and code quality.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles as we scale globally and across new offices.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 8+ years of relevant industry experience in software development.
• Strong programming and system design fundamentals.
• Experience owning and evolving large-scale enterprise applications or platforms.
• Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives and influencing roadmaps.
• Demonstrated ability to balance business and technical priorities to deliver long-term impact.
• Full-stack engineering expertise, with experience building scalable backend services and intuitive web applications.
• Proven track record of mentoring and elevating peers and teams.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience setting architectural direction and defining multi-quarter technical plans.
• Familiarity with release systems, feature flagging/gating, and phased rollouts at scale.
• Experience with distributed systems and data platforms to ensure reliability and auditability.
• A track record of shipping high-quality features and platforms that significantly improved customer experience and adoption.
• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence organizational priorities with clear technical rationale.
• Experience mentoring and developing engineers to raise team capacity and maturity.
• Experience with Go and React/TypeScript (or similar modern stacks).
