Samsara Technologies India Private Limited is looking for a Senior Business Application Engineer I — Sales Compensation Engineering.
We are seeking a skilled Sales Compensation Engineer with hands-on expertise in Xactly Incent and Xactly Connect configuration, scripting, and platform support. The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation in incentive compensation management (ICM) systems, combined with the ability to translate business compensation requirements into reliable platform configurations and data pipelines. This role partners closely with a US-based Technical Product Manager (Xactly SME) who owns the business and product side of Samsara's sales compensation platform, with the BLR engineer as the technical counterpart.
This is a hybrid position requiring 2 days per week in our Bangalore office and 3 days working remotely. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won't be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
You're energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.
Own configuration, maintenance, and enhancement of Xactly Incent — including compensation plan rules, quota structures, crediting logic, draw/recovery mechanics, and payment processing workflows.
Build, maintain, and optimize data pipelines in Xactly Connect — ETL job development, native/delta schema management (staging, history, custom tables, logs), pipeline scheduling, and sandbox-to-production migrations.
Serve as the engineering counterpart to the US-based Technical Product Manager, translating business compensation requirements into technical Xactly configurations and solutions across time zones.
Manage Salesforce CRM as the primary upstream data source — ensure accurate, validated data flows into Xactly for reliable commission calculations.
Administer platform operations — user management, role permissions, system settings, and end-to-end regression testing for each Xactly release cycle.
Diagnose and resolve production issues — trace unexpected compensation calculation results back to root cause, resolve directly or coordinate with Xactly support with structured documentation.
Write and maintain SQL queries against Xactly's data warehouse to support reporting, data validation, and compensation audit requirements.
Document system configurations, Connect pipeline architectures, and operational runbooks; maintain a living knowledge base for the FinSys team.
Collaborate with QA Automation to build and maintain regression test coverage for Xactly release cycles.
Stay current with Xactly product releases, evaluate impact, and coordinate regression testing with the PM and QA team ahead of platform changes.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent years of experience.
4–6 years of hands-on experience with Xactly Incent — compensation plan configuration, rules engine, quota structures, crediting, accelerators, draw/recovery, and payment workflows.
Proficiency with Xactly Connect — pipeline development, native/delta schema knowledge, command-line execution, schedule management, and sandbox-to-production migration practices.
Strong SQL skills — ability to query Xactly's data warehouse, write data validation and audit queries, and independently diagnose calculation discrepancies.
Experience with Salesforce CRM as an upstream data source, including understanding of SFDC opportunity and quota data structures and their mapping into Xactly.
Solid understanding of ETL concepts and data integration techniques relevant to incentive compensation platforms.
Functional knowledge of incentive compensation models — commission structures, accelerators, SPIFs, quota attainment, and draw mechanics.
Analytical mindset — able to independently trace unexpected compensation outputs back to a configuration root cause without hand-holding.
Strong written communication skills — this role operates in a timezone-distributed model with a US-based business partner; clear async documentation and proactive updates are essential.
Xactly Incent certification (Level 2 or above) is preferred; candidates actively working toward certification will also be considered.
Xactly Connect certification is preferred; candidates actively working toward certification will also be considered.
Experience with Xactly Analytics or Xactly Insights for compensation reporting and dashboarding.
Familiarity with Workato or other iPaaS platforms for broader integration context.
Proficiency in BI or reporting tools such as Tableau or Databricks.
Track record of identifying and implementing meaningful improvements to Xactly performance, automation, and data reliability.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with a structured approach to root cause analysis.
Strong sense of ownership — you see ambiguous, high-impact problems as opportunities and drive them to resolution without being asked twice.
Experience working in a mid-to-enterprise organization undergoing rapid growth, where agility and pragmatism matter as much as technical depth.
A growth mindset — you invest in your own skills, share knowledge generously, and raise the bar for those around you.
