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:
Samsara’s Revenue Operations AI & Data Team is building the future of how we go to market — with intelligence, personalization, and speed. We’re a high-impact team of builders, scientists, and strategists focused on transforming sales operations through AI. Our mission is to help sellers reach the right customer at the right time with the right message — and to put everything they need at their fingertips, whether that’s data from Salesforce, context from a past call, or content that wins deals.
As a Sr. AI Engineer II, you’ll lead development of production-grade generative AI applications that power Samsara’s GTM engine. You’ll work at the cutting edge of applied AI: generating high-quality outreach at scale, building copilots for sellers, and enabling voice and chat interfaces that help teams engage with customers more naturally and effectively. You’ll partner closely with revenue operations, sales leadership, product, and engineering teams — and you’ll be empowered to move fast, test ideas, and scale impact across the company.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area.
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-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.
In this role, you will:
- Build GenAI tools that help sellers find and connect with the right customers faster.
- Develop AI-powered copilots that surface CRM insights and sales knowledge in real time.
- Launch AI features that improve efficiency and personalization across the sales funnel.
- Work hands-on across the stack: from model experimentation to app development and infrastructure.
- Collaborate with top-tier engineers, data scientists, and sales operators in a fast-moving environment.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 5+ years of industry experience, with a focus on software engineering, applied machine learning, or AI product development.
- Demonstrated success building and deploying production-ready AI/ML applications, particularly in generative AI (e.g., LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, RAG systems).
- Expert in Python and GenAI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI SDK, MCP, etc.)
- Experience developing backend systems and APIs, and working closely with product and design to ship customer-facing features.
- Strong product sense and ability to work in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
- Located in and authorized to work in the United States (this is a fully remote role).
An ideal candidate also has:
- Experience working on AI products in a sales, go-to-market, or revenue operations context.
- Familiarity with enterprise tools like Salesforce, Gong, Outreach, or similar CRM/enablement platforms.
- Experience integrating with vector databases, retrieval systems, or streaming voice/chat pipelines.
- A track record of leading major technical initiatives or mentoring engineers in high-growth teams.
- Exposure to infrastructure considerations such as cost optimization, model evaluation, observability, and latency management.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an AI Engineer
Verify your role meets specialty occupation criteria
AI Engineer positions must require a specific bachelor's degree to qualify for H-1B sponsorship. Check your target job description against the O*NET profile for your SOC code to confirm the degree requirement is explicit, not just preferred.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing options
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research labs are cap-exempt H-1B sponsors. AI roles at these institutions let you file outside the annual lottery, giving you a year-round path that bypasses the 85,000-slot cap entirely.
Search H-1B sponsors using LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter AI Engineer roles by employers with verified LCA filing history, so you're applying only to companies that have already demonstrated willingness and infrastructure to sponsor H-1B petitions for this occupation.
Negotiate premium processing into your offer
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. Ask your recruiter during offer negotiation whether the employer will elect premium processing through USCIS, which guarantees a decision within 15 business days and protects your start-date timeline.
Document project work that proves specialty-level expertise
USCIS RFEs on AI Engineer petitions frequently challenge whether the role requires a theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge. Compile technical documentation, model architecture write-ups, and peer-reviewed contributions before your employer files.
Confirm your wage level against OFLC Wage Search data
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Cross-check the offered salary against OFLC Wage Search before signing your offer letter to flag any compliance gap early.

Find AI Engineer JobsAI Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an AI Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
AI Engineer positions qualify as H-1B specialty occupations when the job description explicitly requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as computer science, machine learning, or electrical engineering. Roles where any technical degree is acceptable, or where the requirement is listed as preferred rather than required, can trigger an RFE from USCIS. Make sure your offer letter and the employer's LCA language both reflect a specific degree requirement tied to the job duties.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for AI Engineers?
Technology companies, financial institutions, healthcare systems, and federal contractors all file H-1B petitions for AI Engineer roles. The most reliable way to identify active sponsors is to search employers by their LCA filing history for computer occupations. Migrate Mate filters AI Engineer jobs specifically by verified H-1B sponsorship history, so you're not applying blind to companies without a clear sponsorship track record.
How does the H-1B lottery affect AI Engineer job seekers?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for a lottery capped at 85,000 slots annually, with 65,000 in the regular cap and 20,000 reserved for U.S. master's degree holders. If you aren't selected, cap-exempt employers including universities and qualifying nonprofit research organizations can file outside the lottery. Some AI Engineers also pursue O-1A visas as an alternative if their work demonstrates extraordinary ability.
What documents does an employer need to file your H-1B petition as an AI Engineer?
Your employer needs a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before filing Form I-129 with USCIS. You'll need to provide academic transcripts and a credential evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S., your CV listing AI-specific projects and tools, and any publications or patents that support the specialty occupation argument. Employers often request a detailed job duty description matching your degree field to reduce the risk of an RFE.
Can AI Engineers on OPT work for an employer while awaiting H-1B approval?
If your H-1B petition is filed before your OPT expires and you're selected in the lottery, the cap-gap rule automatically extends your OPT employment authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year. Your employer must file before the cap-gap window opens, so confirm that your OPT end date and the H-1B filing timeline align. USCIS requires that the cap-gap extension is based on a timely filed, non-frivolous petition.
