Description (EN)

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:

As a Security Operations Engineer at Samsara, you will join a global team dedicated to protecting our people, systems, and information. You will triage and investigate security alerts, run incident response efforts, and help improve the tools, runbooks, and automated workflows we use to detect and respond to threats.

This role is an ideal next step if you have built foundational experience in a SOC or hands-on security environment and want to develop your technical craft. At Samsara, we view this level as a collaborative apprenticeship: you will develop independent execution skills on discrete investigations, break down incoming alerts into actionable steps, partner with incident stakeholders to remediate findings, and work alongside experienced responders during complex security incidents. You will also explore modern AI tools and insights to simplify routine tasks and optimize your day-to-day workflow.

We are looking for someone who follows the evidence, communicates with intellectual honesty, asks thoughtful questions, and brings a collaborative, pragmatic approach to security operations.

In this role, you will: 

  • Monitor, triage and investigate security alerts across identity, endpoint, email, SaaS and cloud environments, using our tools, runbooks and escalation procedures.
  • Own routine investigations and incidents through to a documented outcome: gather evidence, establish a timeline, assess the activity and explain your conclusions.
  • Support experienced responders during major security incidents through evidence collection, technical analysis, and agreed containment and recovery actions.
  • Maintain clear investigation records and provide useful updates and handovers to teammates across regions.
  • Improve runbooks, help tune detections, and contribute small scripts or automated workflows with guidance and review from teammates.
  • Participate in post-incident reviews and turn lessons learned into practical improvements.
  • Champion Samsara’s cultural principles: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team.

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • Hands-on experience triaging and investigating security alerts in a security operations, incident response or similar role.
  • Experience using security tools such as a SIEM, endpoint detection and response platform, or email security platform to investigate suspicious activity.
  • An understanding of common threats, such as phishing, account compromise and suspicious endpoint activity, and the networking, operating system and identity concepts needed to investigate them.
  • Ability to query and interpret logs, distinguish evidence from assumptions, and recognise when further investigation or escalation is needed.
  • Some scripting experience: you can read, adapt and write small scripts in Python or another language to support an investigation or simplify repetitive work.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, including documenting findings, explaining uncertainty and providing effective handovers.
  • A careful approach to sensitive information, willingness to ask for help, and openness to feedback.

We welcome different routes into security. A particular degree or certification is not required; we’re interested in what you can do, how you approach problems, and what you’re ready to learn next.

An ideal candidate also has:

  • Experience investigating activity in cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, SaaS applications, or identity systems.
  • Exposure to writing or tuning detections, threat hunting, or investigating activity across multiple data sources.
  • Experience using Python, APIs or automation platforms to improve a security workflow.
  • Familiarity with evidence collection or forensic analysis on macOS, Windows or Linux.

You do not need experience in every area above. Bring a solid operational foundation, curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Total Rewards

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.

Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.

Flexible Working 

At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams. Our offices are open for those who prefer to work in-person and we also support remote work where it aligns with our operational requirements. For certain positions, being close to one of our offices or within a specific geographic area is important to facilitate collaboration, access to resources, or alignment with our service regions. In these cases, the job description will clearly indicate any working location requirements. Our goal is to ensure that all members of our team can contribute effectively, whether they are working on-site, in a hybrid model, or fully remotely. All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.
