Job description

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.

The Chassis Team is responsible for horizontal infrastructure that underpins all Commercialization systems. This includes:

  • Critical backend systems - the platforms that power everything from trip matching to depot automation
  • Horizontal functionality - eg. world simulation for regression testing and evaluation purposes

We are looking for someone who is solution-oriented. You will work on cross-cutting problems that 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
  • 3+ years of backend or infrastructure experience

We prefer:

  • Experience with C++
  • Experience working in environments including nontechnical team members
  • Experience with operations tooling, developer productivity, or developer tools
