Connected Equipment · Product & Engineering

We put software and AI on things that weigh 40 tons.

We're a small group of entrepreneurial builders who like finding and solving customer problems. Our products run on trailers, excavators, forklifts, toolboxes and cardboard boxes. We ship hardware, firmware, cloud software and AI, and we do zero-to-one and at-scale at the same time. If that sounds like your kind of fun, keep reading.

00 · Samsara in sixty seconds

The orchestration layer for physical operations.

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) builds the Connected Operations Platform: hardware, software and AI that the world's largest physical operations run on. Founded in 2015 by Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket, public since 2021, headquartered in San Francisco.

The mission

Increase the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy. Not a slogan: it is the sentence every roadmap review starts from.

Who runs on it

Tens of thousands of customers across North America and Europe in construction, transportation and logistics, field services, utilities, food and beverage, manufacturing and the public sector. They are the people who keep the lights on and the shelves stocked.

Why it works

Millions of connected devices on 99% of major US roads generate 30 trillion data points a year. AI built on that data prevented roughly 380,000 crashes for customers last year and now drafts the work orders, flags the shipments and finds the stolen tools. Equipment is where a lot of that new ground gets broken.

01 · What we build

Five product lines. Every one of them started as a sketch on this team.

Our customers manage hundreds of thousands of physical assets and billions of dollars of capital outlay. We're the team that makes those assets visible, healthy and productive.

02 · Two speeds, one team

Zero-to-one and at-scale, running at the same time.

Most teams get one or the other. Here you get both, and you move between them.

Invent the product

The Asset Tag started as an engineer's side project: a prototype built from a real customer pain point, pitched to leadership, and shipped as a flagship revenue driver within 18 months. Shipment Visibility followed the same path two years later. So did Fault Code Intelligence, the maintenance agent and the agentic Shipment Center, none of which needed a soldering iron.

  • Sit with customers on job sites, in yards and in warehouses to find the problem worth solving.
  • Prototype in weeks, not quarters, whether the idea is a new device, a new workflow or a new model on data we already have.
  • Launch on the Beyond keynote stage and take the first orders yourself.
  • There are new zero-to-one bets in flight right now. We'll tell you about them in person.
At scale

Then make it enormous

The same products are now deployed by some of the largest fleets and contractors in North America and Europe, riding a network that touches 99% of major US roads.

  • Millions of gateways acting as listening posts for Bluetooth tags and labels.
  • Trillions of sensor readings a year feeding utilization, health and location models.
  • Battery budgets measured in years, firmware updates measured in fleets.
  • Pricing, packaging and go-to-market are part of the engineer's job here, not someone else's.
Both.

You don't have to choose between a startup that might not make it and a big company where nothing new ships. Here you build the new thing inside a public company growing 30% a year, with the distribution to make it matter.

03 · The whole stack

Silicon to agent. We own every layer.

Some of our products are pure software and AI. Others start with a circuit board. The same team ships both, which is rare and is the reason the products work.

Layer 1

Hardware

Rugged industrial devices built to live under a trailer for years, or be printed, stuck on a box and recycled.

Asset Gateway · Asset Tag · Asset Tag XS · Tracking Label · 360 Camera
Layer 2

Firmware

Multi-year battery life, Bluetooth mesh listening, accelerometer-based utilization and brake-system decoding, all on a few milliamps.

RTOS · BLE · power budgets · OTA at fleet scale
Layer 3

Cloud software

Location, health, utilization, maintenance and shipment workflows for customers running hundreds of thousands of assets.

Go · GraphQL · React · React Native · TypeScript
Layer 4

AI & agents

Maintenance agents that draft work orders from fault codes, shipment exceptions that surface what needs attention, theft workflows that coordinate recovery.

04 · How we work

Speed and conviction. Rigor without bureaucracy.

The engineers who thrive here don't wait to be told what to build. They define it, ship it, and own the outcome.

Ship fast, safely

We deploy dozens of times a day behind strong observability and confident rollbacks. The speed comes from the safety net, not from skipping it, and shipping is celebrated, not feared.

Own it end to end

Engineers own their services in production. No throwing code over the wall. If you built it, you understand it deeply, and that's a feature.

Rigor where it matters

Thorough design reviews on the things that matter, fast decisions on the things that don't. The difference is judgment, and we trust our engineers to have it.

Close to the customer

Every engineer, at every level, spends time in the field, in customer interviews and in the data, and uses that closeness to will solutions into existence.

AI-native by default

One of the first orgs at Samsara to rebuild its engineering culture around AI: agents and LLMs take the routine work so human creativity goes to the hard problems.

The best idea wins

Regardless of level. This team is a consistent winner or top-three finisher at Hacksara, Samsara's company-wide hackathon, and more than one shipped product started there. Pricing, packaging and go-to-market are part of the job too.

05 · The business

Startup speed, public-company footing.

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) just crossed $2.1 billion in ARR, growing 30% a year, and is GAAP profitable. That is the balance sheet behind every zero-to-one bet we make.
