Staff Application Security Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead the ongoing strategy, operation, and continuous improvement of Samsara's vulnerability management program, along with other core application security programs — not just execute against an existing process, but define what the process should be.
• Own and drive down mean time to remediate (MTTR) across the vulnerability backlog, as SLAs tighten.
• Build and champion automation and tooling that scale vulnerability detection and response across cloud, firmware/IoT, and corporate systems, rather than relying on manual, one-by-one review.
• Set technical and architectural direction for the program, translating leadership's strategic priorities into a concrete execution plan for the team.
• Drive remediation by building trust with engineering teams and providing clear, actionable guidance — partnering with technical program management on reporting rather than owning it directly.
• Mentor and level up other engineers on secure design and remediation practices, and be a technical voice other teams look to when priorities are unclear.
• Communicate risk and remediation tradeoffs to engineering leadership in terms they can act on, without owning the relationship end to end.
• Participate in security incident investigations involving high-profile vulnerabilities, assessing potential impact on Samsara's infrastructure.
• Be regularly on call to support critical vulnerability response.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success
