Sales Engineer II, SE Desk - Southeast

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.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. 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.

As a Sales Engineer (SE) at Samsara, you’d be part of a diverse group of technically-minded folks working together to bring our unique connected operations technology to customers. Our daily customer engagements include conversations around logistics/supply chain management, fleet maintenance strategies, global asset management, machine control systems/diagnostics, system integration, and regulatory compliance. This means a successful SE at Samsara will develop a thorough understanding of IoT hardware and sensors, hands-on installation/deployment scenarios, carrier networks, cloud infrastructure, and third-party system integrations (via our open API) to ensure the proper technical solution is presented to our customers.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the Southeast region within the US except Alaska, California (non-Bay Area), Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Denver Metro (CO), Boulder Metro (CO),Chicago Metro (IL), Austin Metro (TX), Houston Metro (TX), Dallas Metro (TX), Seattle Metro (WA), SF Bay Metros (CA), NYC Metro (NY) and Washington DC Metro.

• 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, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You have an innate curiosity about how businesses work: One day you’ll meet with someone in waste management and the next you may be learning about the inner workings of a food distribution center. Our top sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact.
• You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven’t been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customer's value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
• You want to be with the best: Samsara’s high-performance culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.

• Become an expert on Samsara products: where the rubber of cutting-edge tech (IoT, AI, computer vision) meets the road of driving digital transformation for physical operations.
• Demonstrate quick and efficient discovery to understand customer needs and answer any tech questions with the goal of doing so on a single call.
• Be highly available for standard demo/account coverage and temporary technical expertise across the entire Samsara Sales Team.
• Understand how our devices are installed (enough to explain to a prospect over the phone).
• Educate customers on technical aspects of APIs, and be able to deploy scripts leveraging the Samsara API to a testing environment on demand.
