- Hands-on experience triaging and investigating security alerts in a security operations, incident response or similar role.
- Experience using security tools such as a SIEM, endpoint detection and response platform, or email security platform to investigate suspicious activity.
- An understanding of common threats, such as phishing, account compromise and suspicious endpoint activity, and the networking, operating system and identity concepts needed to investigate them.
- Ability to query and interpret logs, distinguish evidence from assumptions, and recognise when further investigation or escalation is needed.
- Some scripting experience: you can read, adapt and write small scripts in Python or another language to support an investigation or simplify repetitive work.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including documenting findings, explaining uncertainty and providing effective handovers.
- A careful approach to sensitive information, willingness to ask for help, and openness to feedback.
We welcome different routes into security. A particular degree or certification is not required; we’re interested in what you can do, how you approach problems, and what you’re ready to learn next.
An ideal candidate also has
- Experience investigating activity in cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, SaaS applications, or identity systems.
- Exposure to writing or tuning detections, threat hunting, or investigating activity across multiple data sources.
- Experience using Python, APIs or automation platforms to improve a security workflow.
- Familiarity with evidence collection or forensic analysis on macOS, Windows or Linux.
You do not need experience in every area above. Bring a solid operational foundation, curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Total Rewards
At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
Flexible Working
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams. Our offices are open for those who prefer to work in-person and we also support remote work where it aligns with our operational requirements. For certain positions, being close to one of our offices or within a specific geographic area is important to facilitate collaboration, access to resources, or alignment with our service regions. In these cases, the job description will clearly indicate any working location requirements.
Our goal is to ensure that all members of our team can contribute effectively, whether they are working on-site, in a hybrid model, or fully remotely. All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.
