Responsibilities
Define and drive the technical strategy for CAM’s predictive maintenance platform, including architecture for data ingestion, feature engineering, model serving, and customer-facing workflows
Lead the design and implementation of new predictive models and data products, working closely with ML/data partners to move from proof-of-concept to robust, monitored, and continuously improving production systems
Own and evolve large-scale, distributed systems that process high-volume time-series and event data from Samsara devices and third-party sources, ensuring reliability, performance, and cost efficiency as we grow
Collaborate across the stack (backend, web, and potentially mobile) to deliver end-to-end features—APIs, data models, business logic, and intuitive UI flows—that bring predictive insights into day-to-day maintenance workflows
Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to define the roadmap, translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical projects, and measure the impact of what we ship (e.g., reduced breakdowns, fewer emergency repairs, improved shop throughput)
Mentor and multiply other engineers on the team through code reviews, design reviews, technical coaching, and by setting high standards for quality, reliability, and velocity
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
8+ years of experience in software design and development, including building and operating production systems at scale
3+ years building data-intensive or ML-backed products, such as forecasting systems, anomaly detection, recommendation systems, or other high-complexity predictive models (e.g., in fintech, health, reliability, or similar domains)
Strong programming fundamentals and deep proficiency in Python for backend and data/ML-related services
Experience designing and operating distributed systems or large-scale microservices (e.g., event-driven architectures, time-series storage, streaming or batch data pipelines)
Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-org projects from inception through rollout, including managing ambiguity, driving alignment, and delivering measurable business impact
Strong communication skills and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, especially when discussing trade-offs around reliability, performance, and model accuracy
Proven ability to 'sit with the customer' to deeply understand operational pain points, translating vague real-world maintenance challenges into high-impact technical requirements and intuitive AI-driven products
Preferred
Master's degree in Computer Science + Artificial Intelligence
Expertise with time-series data and forecasting techniques, including feature engineering, evaluation, and productionization for predictive maintenance or similar use cases
Hands-on experience with MLOps practices and tooling (e.g., model deployment, monitoring, versioning, experimentation platforms) in partnership with data/ML teams
Experience with full-stack development using technologies such as Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, GraphQL, or similar modern stacks in large-scale SaaS applications
Background working with industrial, fleet, or equipment data (e.g., telematics, fault codes, work orders, inspections) and an interest in learning the maintenance domain in depth
Proven track record of mentoring senior engineers and influencing engineering culture, standards, and best practices beyond a single team
