Get Access To All JobsWho 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.
About the role:
As a Field Sales Engineer at Samsara, you’d be an integral part of a diverse team working to help modernize essential industries through the application of cutting-edge IoT solutions. Your work would directly contribute to a cleaner, more efficient, and productive supply chain by creating safer roadways, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, and providing a consolidated platform for connecting operations. Our daily customer engagements include conversations around how IoT can positively impact logistics management, workplace safety programs, fleet maintenance strategies, global asset management, and regulatory compliance. This means a successful SE at Samsara will develop a thorough understanding of the application of IoT hardware and sensors, hands-on hardware installation strategies, managing data collection over carrier networks, presenting a robust cloud infrastructure, and building third-party system integrations (via our open API) to ensure the best technical solution is presented to Samsara customers.
This is a remote position open to candidates within the Eastern time zone. This position requires travel up to 50% of the time and proximity to an international airport is preferred.
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, 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 customers 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.
- You are a team player: At Samsara, sales is a team sport. We help each other out by sharing best practices and focusing on winning as a team.
In this role, you will:
- 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.
- Articulate to prospects how businesses like theirs use Samsara today to solve obstacles common to their industry.
- Deliver the work products that get deals done. Think discoveries, demonstrations, value assessments, proof of concept implementations, etc.
- Walk installers through any scenario, explaining best practices for installing Samsara products and helping build deployment plans.
- Write sample proof-of-concept scripts against our open API that solve real-world problems for companies that deliver essential services (for example), and document them for your fellow SE’s to use.
- Open the door for deeper entrenchment into accounts (integration, upsell, cross-sell) by becoming a consultant to your customers.
- Act as a liaison between Samsara’s product and sales teams, translating technical feedback and enrolling the right customers in our beta programs.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- Bachelor’s of Science degree from a 4-year accredited university.
- 5 years of experience working with customers in a pre-sales, customer success, or customer/product support capacity.
- Possess the attitude and aptitude for continuous growth and development.
- Ability to influence stakeholders based on your technical sales acumen and a solid understanding of business processes and change management.
- Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Previous experience managing hardware and/or software product evaluations.
- Basic understanding of electronics and electrical systems.
- Experience with the following concepts: technical consulting, cloud software, cloud-connected hardware, computer networking, business systems integration, automation, and control systems.
An ideal candidate also has:
- Bachelor’s of Science degree or advanced education in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline.
- 8+ years of enterprise experience working with customers in a pre-sales environment.
- Understanding of vehicle diagnostic systems, including Controller Area Networks (CAN bus) and Power Take Off (PTO) applications.
- Skilled in the art of identifying customer value - identifying on delivering what is most important to the customer and tuning out the noise.
- Hobbyist interest in working with things driven by electronic systems (car audio installation/classic car restoration, home automation, building things with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc.).
- Consistent track record of success selling complex technical solutions through strategic sales cycles.
- Work experience in task automation scripting and transferring data between systems using Bash, Python, JavaScript, or equivalent language.
- Work experience building solutions leveraging open APIs.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Sales Engineer Jobs at Samsara Jobs
Frame your SE credentials around IoT deployments
Samsara's Sales Engineers are expected to demo connected hardware and explain sensor integrations to enterprise buyers. Prepare case studies from your background that show you've supported technical evaluations involving physical devices, APIs, or fleet management systems, not just software.
Target Samsara's mid-market and enterprise segments
Samsara structures its Sales Engineering team by customer size. Roles supporting mid-market accounts typically require less prior industry tenure, making them a stronger entry point if you're early in your U.S. career and need employer-initiated sponsorship within a shorter hiring window.
Search open SE roles using Migrate Mate
Filter for Sales Engineer openings at Samsara by visa type using Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles where sponsorship is confirmed. This saves time you'd otherwise spend cold-applying to postings with no indication of whether international candidates are eligible.
Clarify your OPT or grace period timeline early
If you're on F-1 OPT, Samsara's recruiting team will need to confirm your authorization end date before extending an offer. Bring up your timeline before the final interview round so hiring managers can align with HR on whether STEM OPT extension or H-1B cap filing fits the role start date.
Understand where TN fits for Canadian and Mexican candidates
Sales Engineers from Canada or Mexico may qualify for TN status under the USMCA if the role maps to a qualifying occupation category. TN doesn't require USCIS approval in advance and has no annual cap, which can accelerate your start date compared to waiting on H-1B lottery results.
Sequence your PERM timeline if long-term residency matters
Samsara sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards for qualifying employees, but PERM labor certification through the DOL must begin well before priority dates become current. If permanent residency is a goal, raise it during offer negotiation so both you and Samsara can plan the sponsorship sequence accurately.

Find Sales Engineer at Samsara JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Samsara sponsor H-1B visas for Sales Engineers?
Yes, Samsara sponsors H-1B visas for Sales Engineer roles. The H-1B requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field and employer filing through USCIS. Because H-1B cap-subject petitions are subject to an annual lottery, timing your offer around the April filing window is critical. Samsara also supports cap-exempt transfers for candidates already holding H-1B status with another employer.
How do I apply for Sales Engineer jobs at Samsara?
You can apply directly through Samsara's careers page or browse current openings filtered by visa eligibility on Migrate Mate. When applying, tailor your resume to reflect experience with hardware systems, technical demos, or connected operations platforms, since Samsara's SE interviews are heavily focused on product knowledge and customer-facing technical problem solving.
Which visa types does Samsara commonly use for Sales Engineer roles?
Samsara sponsors H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, J-1, and employment-based Green Cards including EB-2 and EB-3 for Sales Engineer positions. F-1 OPT and CPT are common entry points for recent graduates. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals without a lottery. H-1B remains the primary long-term work visa path for most international Sales Engineers at the company.
What qualifications does Samsara expect for Sales Engineer candidates?
Samsara's Sales Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field. Hands-on experience with hardware integrations, APIs, or enterprise SaaS platforms is valued. Strong communication skills matter as much as technical depth, since SEs work directly with fleet operators and logistics decision-makers who need complex systems explained clearly.
How do I plan my timeline when applying as an international candidate?
Start your application at least three to four months before your current work authorization expires to leave room for offer negotiation, background checks, and USCIS processing. If you're counting on H-1B sponsorship, note that cap-subject petitions can only be filed in April for an October 1 start. TN and H-1B transfers have no fixed filing windows and can proceed year-round.
