AI overview

Build and evolve critical infrastructure for Waymo's ride-hailing and fleet management systems, collaborating across teams to solve complex real-world challenges.

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

Join our Waymo Commercialization team, and help us design the future of transportation! We are looking for a passionate Staff SWE who wants to help build the systems that improve Waymo's core ride hailing and fleet management systems.

You will work on cross-cutting problems to require cross-team collaboration, both technically (mobile app, cloud backends, and the Waymo Driver) and functionally (operations, product, legal, partnerships, policy & privacy) to develop and deliver business critical infrastructure.

In this hybrid role, you will report to an Engineering Manager.

 

You will:

  • Help build and evolve mission-critical horizontal infrastructure and tooling that underpins all commercialization systems
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams to develop systems and processes as business needs grow and evolve
  • Scale our systems to meet the demands of commercial expansion and growing complexity
  • Solve hard, real-world problems such as world simulation for regression testing and evaluation of software services managing fleets for autonomous vehicles

 

You have:

  • BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
  • 6+ years of backend or infrastructure experience

 

We prefer:

  • Experience with C++ (or a willingness to participate in professional development activities to stay current on industry knowledge)
  • Experience working in environments including nontechnical team members
  • Experience with operations tooling, developer productivity, or developer tools
