ABOUT SAMAYA

In an intense, fast-paced, and over-equipped world, true luxury lies in the ability to realign oneself: finding silence, broadening one's horizon, and reconnecting with what is essential.

Nature offers us this space. To us, it is neither a simple backdrop, nor just a playground, and even less a territory to be conquered. It is to experience this with more intensity and freedom that Samaya designs an ultra-lightweight system dedicated to mountaineering and roaming.

Our founding conviction is simple. Lightness frees the body. Physical freedom opens up attention. Regained attention creates the space for elevation.

Based in the heart of the French Alps, in Annecy, Samaya develops a new generation of ultra-lightweight equipment for mountaineering and roaming. Our products are currently distributed in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Our ambition is to radically transform the outdoor experience by reducing the weight of a complete bivouac kit from 10–15 kg to just 3–5 kg.

For Samaya, Outdoor Luxury is born from the encounter between measurable performance, radical innovation, ultra-lightness, exceptional materials, design precision, and quality of execution, but also—and above all—from the intensity, authenticity, and transformative power of the lived experience.

More than just an equipment brand, Samaya is building a new art of rising in nature, where technology serves the purpose of lightness, freedom, and elevation.

THE ROLE

Samaya is entering a new phase of its development.

During Chapter 1, Samaya built recognized expertise in ultra-lightweight mountain equipment and established its technical legitimacy on an international scale.

With Chapter 2, expanding our system to new categories, starting with Apparel, opens up a considerably vaster territory for innovation and growth.

To support the development of its next generation of ultra-lightweight outdoor equipment, Samaya is strengthening its repair and refurbishment workshop.

You will work on a variety of technical products, dealing with concrete issues related to real-world usage (after-sales service and customer returns, athlete products, sponsorship projects, and events).

You will perform repairs, control their quality by relying on testing and quality validation protocols, and implement techniques adapted to the requirements of the products and their uses. In this capacity, you will participate in the continuous improvement of repair practices and the sharing of usage feedback from the field.

You will contribute to workshop operations (stocks, consumables, storage, maintenance) and participate in preparing shipments (e-commerce and B2B) as part of a collective, rotating schedule. You will also assist, as needed, in the preparation of products for events or athletes.

You will work in direct contact with the logistics, customer service, and marketing teams in a startup dynamic, with occasional interactions with R&D teams for the purpose of relaying usage feedback obtained from after-sales service.
