  • Drive strategic use of AI to solve high-impact problems: build AI-enabled data products and agents with reliable retrieval and evaluation practices.
  • Identify and automate manual workflows with AI across Marketing and GTM teams from concept to production, influencing org roadmaps.
  • Ship high-quality Python and SQL, leveraging agentic coding tools, and verify AI-generated output before production.
  • Champion Samsara’s cultural principles as we scale globally.

Qualifications

  • Expert-level Python and SQL with strong data modeling and DBT experience.

  • Experience building semantic layers and structured documentation optimized for AI ingestion and agentic workflows.
  • Experience with agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) and ownership of AI-generated output.
  • Experience building, shipping, evaluating, and monitoring LLM or agent systems in production.
