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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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:

As a member of our Security Operations Team, you will collaborate with a global team of engineers to monitor and respond to security events, lead security incidents as Incident Commander, and lead digital forensic investigations in support of Employee Relations, Legal, Compliance, or Information Security cases.

Although you will be focused on security incident response, you will also have the opportunity to create and maintain runbooks, and automated workflows, and assist in process refinement and implementation. You will collaborate with a diverse team of analysts, engineers, and key stakeholders on security initiatives across the company. Above all, your focus is bringing Security expertise to the table in a collaborative, humble, and practical manner.

You should apply if:

  • You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.

We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, and countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper-growth environment.
  • You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
  • 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. 

In this role, you will: 

  • Monitor security events and provide technical analysis on alerts
  • Lead information security incidents and employee investigations by developing the incident response strategy, lead the execution through incident closure, while providing incident updates to key stakeholders throughout the incident
  • Deliver security guidance clearly and concisely for incident response and insider threat initiatives
  • Coordinate the building of services, capabilities, integrations, and implementations of technologies to support security operations, incident response, and insider threat
  • 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:

  • 4+ years of experience in Security Incident Response
  • Ability to communicate investigative findings and strategies to technical staff, executive leadership, and legal
  • Ability to build scripts or tools to support Samsara’s investigation processes, with proficiency in Python
  • Mentor and train security operation engineers on data collection, analysis, and reporting technical analysis
  • Practical experience acting as a lead during security incident response, including monitoring and triaging alerts, and coordinating across teams
  • Understanding of analysis and forensics techniques on macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • Experience utilizing SIEM tools to perform log reviews
  • Experience in cloud architecture and security (AWS, GCP) and cloud-based services
  • Must reside in the Pacific Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone or Central Time Zone of the United States

An ideal candidate also has:

  • 4+ years of experience working on insider threat initiatives or employee investigations
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
