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.

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 Team

The Connected Workflows team builds Samsara’s digital Connected Workflows platform, helping customers replace paper-based operational workflows with configurable, mobile-first Connected Workflows. Connected Workflows power critical work across safety, compliance, maintenance, operations, and field workflows, enabling drivers and frontline teams to collect structured data, trigger automations, and give back-office teams real-time visibility.

This team works across the full stack, including the Samsara dashboard, mobile experiences, backend services, workflow automation, permissions, reporting, and integrations with broader Samsara platform systems.

Connected Workflows is a key part of how Samsara customers digitize and automate their operations.
