About the role: Samsara’s Release Management team is responsible for how features are created, gated, and delivered to both internal stakeholders and external customers. We build the systems and tooling that product managers and engineers use to move features through their lifecycle from internal visibility to beta, early adopters, and general availability.

• Collaborate with product managers and engineering leadership to influence roadmaps and set multi-quarter plans for release lifecycle tooling.
• Drive cross-team initiatives that improve feature discoverability, adoption, and reliability for customers.
• Mentor and guide engineers across the team, raising the bar on technical design, execution, and code quality.
