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 the role:

Roles like this one don’t come along very often. We are re-shaping and expanding our team by bringing in the best talent. This role is for someone who is serious about their professional development, who wants to learn from the best in the profession, who wants to leave a lasting footprint on global accounting operations and wants to do it at an industry leading, market disrupting, fast-growing publicly-traded technology company.

You will be on the ground floor of a tremendous opportunity to help Samsara anchor its standards of excellence to world-class practices in a team that thrives on innovative thinking, creative problem-solving and business partnering. We aren’t hiring for a role; we want you to grow with us with a honed set of skills that can be applied to a variety of growth opportunities within our team over the years to come.

The Staff Accountant plays a critical role within our US accounting team. This individual will be responsible for highly visible accounting areas and will be supported directly by the Accounting Manager.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Mexico. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

You should apply if:

• Perform various GL month-end close activities

• Prepare journal entries and related account reconciliations

• Demonstrate extreme ownership of assigned accounts which may include, among others, inventory, deferred commissions, marketable securities and investments, complex bank account arrangements, and accounts payable and accounts receivable related accounts

• Help implement process improvements by identifying weaknesses in the close process

• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices

Minimum requirements for the role:

Total Rewards

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.

Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.

Flexible Working

At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
