About the role:
Samsara is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join our growing Safety team. The global, connected fleets of Samsara customers are using our AI dash cameras to continuously detect unsafe driving behaviors. Safety Managers then use these video examples to coach risky driver behaviors and recognize/reward safe driving. You will oversee the team that ensures that relevant driving events are surfaced to customers and ensures that safety managers can triage these events quickly and efficiently.
In FY23, we detected 110M+ AI-based safety events and analyzed 40B+ miles worth of driving data. Ensuring these events are relevant and actionable has never been more important, and is a key challenge as we continue to scale AI detections.
This team owns the customer-facing interface and presentation (via web, mobile, and API) for Samsara customers to review and triage safety events. The team collaborates closely with other Safety teams (including the Machine Learning & AI engineering teams) to enable new detection types of safety events and unsafe driving behaviors and works with Product and Design partners to deeply understand customer workflows to optimize effectiveness for Samsara’s customers.
The potential for scale and impact is huge, come join us to make roads safer!
