Lead Product Designer

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.

About this role:

As a Lead Product Designer at Samsara, you'll own design for strategic initiatives within one of our product areas, building software that runs in the cab, the yard, the job site, and the dispatch floor, built with the people who use it. You'll frame the problem, design and build the experience across web and mobile, and carry it through launch and iteration with your product and engineering partners. You'll also engage directly with customers, bringing their feedback into your process throughout.

This is a remote role open to candidates residing in Canada.

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.

• Lead through building, not politics.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 8+ years of product design experience designing UX/UI for web and mobile applications.

• A portfolio with case studies that show how you approached an ambiguous, multi-part problem and what happened after you shipped. We cannot consider applications without a portfolio at this time.

• Deep interaction and visual design skills, with the judgment to know when to use an established pattern and when to invent one.

• AI tools in your regular design practice (e.g., Cursor, Figma Make), with shipped work you can attribute to them.
