Staff Software Engineer, Booking

Want to build the front doors to the future of transportation? The Booking team is responsible for some of the most critical, high-impact, user-facing flows in the app — directly enabling users to hail and control Waymo’s autonomous vehicles with industry-leading UX. We solve complex user-facing challenges: building intelligent scheduling features, supporting diverse hailing modalities beyond standard ride-hailing, designing intelligent search and suggestions, and creating many other offers and experiences that we can’t share just yet. We’re a small team with huge plans, and we’d love for you to join us!

 

You will:

• Work on a small team designing, building, and maintaining highly scalable core services that are the front door to Waymo’s Marketplace. Directly enable users to hail and control Waymo’s autonomous vehicles.
• Ensure high reliability, low latency, and fault tolerance for critical infrastructure powering Waymo’s user-facing service.
• Collaborate closely with Booking iOS & Android engineers, product managers, UX designers / researchers, and data scientists to bring novel autonomous ride-hailing features to market.
• Architect APIs and systems that serve both internal and external partners.

 

You have:

• BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience programming in backend coding languages.
• Experience in building backend distributed systems.

 

We prefer:

• Experience with C++ in a production environment.
• MS in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in developing low latency, large-scale, user facing distributed systems.
• Familiarity with ride-hailing or marketplace consumer platforms.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, interest in partnering with mobile/frontend teams.
• Experience at another Ride hailing or Marketplace company.
