Jobs at Samsara

What Samsara's application asks

Across the 5 application forms Otto has filled at Samsara: 37 distinct questions, 19 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 23 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Greenhouse.

23 are Samsara’s own, not boxes every form has:

• at samsara, we encourage employees to bring their whole selves to work (this includes applicants too!) feel…
• briefly describe your current agentic coding workflow, including what tools you use and how your day-to-day…
• describe a data pipeline you stood up from scratch: the source system, how you figured out the schema, and…
• how many years of experience do you have in a full lifecycle, enterprise sales role?
• if you selected 'other' for where you learned about samsara, please share additional details.
• most recent employer
• ai policy for interviewers
• do you have 5+ years of working experience in data engineering or ai engineering roles, including hands-on…

and 15 more.

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-21, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Greenhouse puts on every employer’s form.
