Samsara Technologies India Private Limited is looking for a Senior Business Application Engineer I — Sales Compensation Engineering.

We are seeking a skilled Sales Compensation Engineer with hands-on expertise in Xactly Incent and Xactly Connect configuration, scripting, and platform support. The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation in incentive compensation management (ICM) systems, combined with the ability to translate business compensation requirements into reliable platform configurations and data pipelines. This role partners closely with a US-based Technical Product Manager (Xactly SME) who owns the business and product side of Samsara's sales compensation platform, with the BLR engineer as the technical counterpart.

This is a hybrid position requiring 2 days per week in our Bangalore office and 3 days working remotely. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

• 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 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.

• Own configuration, maintenance, and enhancement of Xactly Incent — including compensation plan rules, quota structures, crediting logic, draw/recovery mechanics, and payment processing workflows.
• Build, maintain, and optimize data pipelines in Xactly Connect — ETL job development, native/delta schema management (staging, history, custom tables, logs), pipeline scheduling, and sandbox-to-production migrations.
• Serve as the engineering counterpart to the US-based Technical Product Manager, translating business compensation requirements into technical Xactly configurations and solutions across time zones.
• Manage Salesforce CRM as the primary upstream data source — ensure accurate, validated data flows into Xactly for reliable commission calculations.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent years of experience.
• 4–6 years of hands-on experience with Xactly Incent — compensation plan configuration, rules engine, quota structures, crediting, accelerators, draw/recovery, and payment workflows.
• Proficiency with Xactly Connect — pipeline development, native/delta schema knowledge, command-line execution, schedule management, and sandbox-to-production migration practices.
• Strong SQL skills — ability to query Xactly's data warehouse, write data validation and audit queries, and independently diagnose calculation discrepancies.

#LI-hybrid Total Rewards

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.

Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
