Senior Product Manager - Safety

About the role:

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager to help us take one of our largest and fastest growing businesses - Video-based Safety - to the next level. The Video-Safety product line is a combination of hardware and software (on-device firmware, a cloud-based UI, and a set of APIs), so you’re adept at working across this stack and have experience delivering similar products at scale. A core and deep focus area is our use of computer vision and AI-driven capabilities to provide video intelligence, workflows & automation, and ultimately support customer business needs from security and safety to operational efficiency.

As a member of the Product team, you’ll be responsible for the end-to-end success of new products and features that delight our customers and further Samsara’s vision. Samsara’s approach to product management is rooted in a deep understanding of the customer. You’ll learn about our customers’ operations, identify the most meaningful problems that we could solve for them, and develop a product vision that maximizes the impact Samsara can make on the market. With a laser focus, entrepreneurial spirit, and easy-to-work-with collaborative approach, you’ll help us drive the next step change in growth of the Safety product. 

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-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.
