Job Description

• Define the end-to-end AI transformation roadmap for supply chain alongside the Director, aligning with company OKRs and working closely with executive stakeholders. • Own the design, training, validation, and deployment of ML and statistical models. • Build predictive models to forecast demand, lead times, and cellular spend across Samsara’s global supply network. • Create novel features using large-scale ERP, IoT, and third-party datasets; build pipelines and ETL jobs to serve models and stakeholders. • Deliver production-grade code that supports both batch and real-time inference with MLOps best practices. • Act as the AI liaison to Product, Engineering, Procurement, and Finance—ensuring alignment on data requirements, integration, and change management. • Drive enhancements to our data infrastructure and analytics platform to support real-time model training, monitoring, and inference at scale. • Mentor junior scientists through code reviews and collaborative project work. • Act as a key scientific voice in roadmap planning, experimentation frameworks, and modeling strategy discussions. • Identify gaps in data, tools, and processes—and lead initiatives to close them. • Establish governance frameworks, documentation standards, and quality controls for model development, validation, and lifecycle management. • Partner with Ops management to drive adoption of AI tools, define new processes, and train supply chain teams on insights-driven workflows. • Hire, develop and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high-performing team. • Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.

  • Strong coding skills in Python and fluency in SQL; experience developing and deploying production ML systems.
  • Familiarity with MLOps practices, including automated testing, CI/CD, model versioning, and monitoring.
  • Demonstrated track record building real-time inference pipelines and managing GPU/TPU resources.
  • Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • A passion for operational excellence, cost efficiency, and building scalable, data-driven solutions.
