## About the role

Samsara is building a brand-new role at the intersection of security engineering and applied AI. This person will be the most AI-forward technologist on our Application Security team — using frontier AI models to both strengthen our security posture and stress-test it. You'll spend one day using AI to red-team our cloud environment and the next validating firmware vulnerabilities on our hardware, with the goal to secure our applications for AI Adversaries.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience applying AI/LLM tools to real security workflows (not just using AI as an end user) — e.g., building with APIs, agents, or automation to support security use cases
- Experience conducting technical security assessments (e.g. offensive security or validation exercises) across both software and hardware/firmware environments
- Experience in creating solutions for secure code with engineers using languages such as GoLang
- Experience developing AI and agentic solutions using Github, and developing within AWS cloud
- Experience with AI-specific attack techniques (prompt injection, jailbreaks, model/agent abuse) for vulnerability management and application security
- Experience building or validating security controls for agentic AI, RAG systems, or LLM-integrated platforms
