Who we are

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.

About the Team
The Forms team builds Samsara’s digital forms platform, helping customers replace paper-based operational workflows with configurable, mobile-first forms. Forms power critical work across safety, compliance, maintenance, operations, and field workflows, enabling drivers and frontline teams to collect structured data, trigger automations, and give back-office teams real-time visibility.
This team works across the full stack, including the Samsara dashboard, mobile experiences, backend services, workflow automation, permissions, reporting, and integrations with broader Samsara platform systems.

Forms is a key part of how Samsara customers digitize and automate their operations.
