Senior Fullstack Engineer, Simulation
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they’re going. Since our start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has been focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World’s Most Experienced Driver™—to improve everyone's access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. Our Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, as well as Waymo Via, our trucking and local delivery service. To date, Waymo has driven over 20 million miles autonomously on public roads across 25 U.S. cities and conducted over 20 billion miles of simulation testing.
At Waymo, we are mission-driven and believe deeply in the opportunity of autonomous driving technology to improve mobility and make people's lives better. We are united by purpose and responsibility (for our employees and riders alike). We are looking for kind, committed, employees who have integrity, dream big, work together as one team and create a sense of belonging for one another that is the foundation of our culture. We want each team member to feel welcomed and included in every step of our exciting journey.
As a Senior full-stack SWE in the Driver Understanding & Evaluation Experience team, you’ll work on the user-facing infrastructure that all of Waymo uses to understand the Waymo Driver’s performance. These web-based applications help to smooth the build, evaluate, triage, launch workflow and are used by every part of Waymo, including SWEs, PMs, Data Scientists, Ops, and Research. These tools are a core part of solving almost every self-driving challenge Waymo faces.
You will work with a small but growing team and collaborate directly with users, product managers, and UX to build and own products that improve Waymo’s engineering capabilities around our toughest self-driving challenges.
You will own user-facing products essential to building the world’s most experienced driver and lead efforts such as:
- Building seamless web tools and efficient data pipelines for simulated and driving events evaluation, triaging tens of millions of data points used by Waymo Ops and Eng.
- Building auto-triage pipelines that provide useful signals and clustering for triage productivity and quality improvement, incorporating technologies like LLMs and generative AI.
- Collaborating across teams, with SWEs, Product Managers, Data Science, Operations, and UX to build the best user experience for our developer tools and improve the development speed of Waymo software engineers.
- Engineering solutions with an eye towards quality, performance, and stability.
At a minimum we’d like you to have:
- A BS or MS in Computer Science or a similar discipline. An equivalent amount of real-life experience is also welcome.
- Experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., Angular, React, TypeScript, Dart).
- Experience with server side development.
- Passion for infrastructure work: building internal tools, frameworks, and libraries.
- Ability to move quickly and work directly with customers for feedback.
- Excitement about working on autonomous vehicles.
It’s preferred if you have:
- Experience with C++.
- Experience building developer productivity tools with a high degree of product excellence.
