About the role

Every day, the world’s largest fleets depend on maintenance operations to keep their vehicles and equipment running. When a truck breaks down on the side of a highway or a piece of heavy equipment fails on a job site, the cost isn’t just a repair bill — it’s missed deliveries, idle crews, compliance risk, and eroded customer trust. Despite the stakes, most maintenance teams still run on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and legacy systems that haven’t changed in decades. Samsara is changing that.

The Connected Asset Maintenance team is building Samsara’s next major product line — a modern, intelligent maintenance and asset management platform purpose-built for physical operations. We’re a few quarters in, moving fast, and building from the ground up. Think of this as a startup inside Samsara: a small, focused team with the full backing of a scaled platform, massive distribution, and millions of connected assets already generating the data that makes our product uniquely powerful.

We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager who will own a significant portion of our Maintenance product. You’ll report directly to the VP of Product & Engineering for the Business Unit. One week you might be in a maintenance garage watching a fleet technician diagnose an engine fault, and the next you’ll be whiteboarding a new workflow with your engineering team or jumping on a call with Sales to close a strategic deal. You’ll spend serious time on-site with customers — not just interviewing them, but learning their world: how work orders flow, how parts get tracked, how a maintenance director decides what gets fixed today versus next week. That depth of understanding is what separates good products from great ones in this space.

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

You should apply if

• You want to build something from scratch: You’re energized by the blank canvas of a new product, not intimidated by it. You love 0-to-1 and you know what it takes — the scrappiness, the speed, the willingness to do whatever the product needs.
• You’re deeply curious about how the physical world works: You believe the best product insights come from being where the work actually happens, and you’re energized — not drained — by time in the field.
• You’re already using AI to make yourself faster: You don’t just build AI products — you use AI tools daily in your own work (writing specs, analyzing customer data, prototyping ideas, accelerating research). You see this as table stakes, not a nice-to-have.
• 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 want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.

About the role

Every day, the world’s largest fleets depend on maintenance operations to keep their vehicles and equipment running. When a truck breaks down on the side of a highway or a piece of heavy equipment fails on a job site, the cost isn’t just a repair bill — it’s missed deliveries, idle crews, compliance risk, and eroded customer trust. Despite the stakes, most maintenance teams still run on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and legacy systems that haven’t changed in decades. Samsara is changing that.

The Connected Asset Maintenance team is building Samsara’s next major product line — a modern, intelligent maintenance and asset management platform purpose-built for physical operations. We’re a few quarters in, moving fast, and building from the ground up. Think of this as a startup inside Samsara: a small, focused team with the full backing of a scaled platform, massive distribution, and millions of connected assets already generating the data that makes our product uniquely powerful.

We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager who will own a significant portion of our Maintenance product. You’ll report directly to the VP of Product & Engineering for the Business Unit. One week you might be in a maintenance garage watching a fleet technician diagnose an engine fault, and the next you’ll be whiteboarding a new workflow with your engineering team or jumping on a call with Sales to close a strategic deal. You’ll spend serious time on-site with customers — not just interviewing them, but learning their world: how work orders flow, how parts get tracked, how a maintenance director decides what gets fixed today versus next week. That depth of understanding is what separates good products from great ones in this space.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

You should apply if

• You want to build something from scratch: You’re energized by the blank canvas of a new product, not intimidated by it. You love 0-to-1 and you know what it takes — the scrappiness, the speed, the willingness to do whatever the product needs.
• You’re deeply curious about how the physical world works: You believe the best product insights come from being where the work actually happens, and you’re energized — not drained — by time in the field.
• You’re already using AI to make yourself faster: You don’t just build AI products — you use AI tools daily in your own work (writing specs, analyzing customer data, prototyping ideas, accelerating research). You see this as table stakes, not a nice-to-have.
• 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 want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.
