## About the role

Samsara sits at the center of hardware, software, AI, and the physical world, processing 25+ trillion data points annually across thousands of connected devices. The Samsara Application Security team protects this vast footprint end-to-end, spanning cloud services, internal systems, and firmware running on IoT hardware in the field.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of relevant experience as a cloud engineer or security engineer, including hands-on vulnerability management across a broad, multi-product enterprise environment — not a single product or team's slice of it
- Proficiency in Go, Python, and JavaScript
- Significant experience with modern vulnerability management tooling (e.g., Wiz, Semgrep) and deep familiarity with vulnerability scoring frameworks such as CVSS and EPSS
- Strong AWS cloud services background
- Deep understanding of Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
- Hands-on use of AI/LLM tooling in your own security workflow — triage, detection logic, remediation drafting — plus credibility speaking to how AI is changing the threat landscape and the tooling available to address it
