Enterprise Core Sales Engineer - West

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.

As an Enterprise Sales Engineer at Samsara, you'll be splitting your time across two major focus areas; (1) supporting senior‑level sellers in an attempt to grow existing customers, or win new customers, and (2) contributing to the SE Team as a senior resource. There is an expectation that an Enterprise SE is highly accountable for each technical sale, meaning that strong storytelling, objection handling, custom workarounds, advanced integrations, and extensive hands‑on experience are requirements to win most deals.

Takeaways from these activities should be shared across the SE Team via team meetings, messaging tools, etc.

Additionally, an Enterprise Sales Engineer is accountable for carving out time to source and deliver product information, conduct testing of alpha products/features, manage projects, and build process improvements and automation that will scale the broader SE Team. An Enterprise Sales Engineer will still carry a quota, so a successful Enterprise Sales Engineer will possess excellent time management skills and will maintain a clear focus on retiring quota in addition to these other senior responsibilities.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the West region of the United States except for San Francisco Bay Metro, New York City Metro and Washington DC Metro. This position requires travel up to 50% of the time and proximity to an international airport is preferred.
