Senior Growth Engineer

About the role:

Are you a talented software engineer that is excited to learn about business and contribute to the growth of an innovative IoT company? We’re looking for a Senior Growth Engineer who can help us build all of our e-commerce and self-service revenue products at Samsara. 

As Growth Engineers we ask questions like “what can we build to improve gross margins?” and “how can we build best-in-class e-commerce experiences?” We then build, test and measure the impact of the experiments we run. We appreciate software engineers who are quick to pick up new frameworks/tools and are thoughtful about building quickly while being mindful of technical debt. The software we build has a direct impact on both revenue and our bottom line. 

You will have the opportunity to work the entire stack -- from how you architect and deploy to how you test the code you write. We use Python for our backends, Javascript (Vue) for our frontends and AWS to manage our infrastructure. Our team believes deeply in solving hard business problems with software, data, and exceptional cross-team collaboration.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
• You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
• You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best. 

In this role, you will: 

• Leverage data to understand our customers and our funnel in depth, identify areas of opportunity and execute projects to drive revenue, customer growth, retention, and/or engagement.
• Build customer-facing self-serve products from the ground up using a combination of custom frontends, Cloud applications, backend services, scripts, etc.
• Collaborate with marketing, sales operations and product teams to implement growth initiatives.
• Drive engineering discussions and write thoughtful documentation and unit tests.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 6+ years of experience working in a full stack, API engineering or application services role
• Strong Experience with Python and/or Javascript (Vue)
• Knowledgeable about modern web technologies and testing frameworks
• Excellent analytical skills
• Ability to partner with different parts of the organization to identify and solve major business problems
• Desire to learn about our business and apply that business acumen to our applications
• B.S., M.S. degree (or higher) in Computer Science or related technical experience

An ideal candidate also has:

• 2+ years of experience on a Growth/E-commerce team
• Experience using Vue in production web applications
• Experience using AWS services: Elastic Beanstalk, Amplify, Lambda, CloudFront
• Knowledge of any of the following tools: Turborepo, Terraform, Cypress or any similar tools
• Knowledge of any of the following services: SaaS ecommerce platforms, Salesforce, Contentful, Stripe or any similar products
