Software Engineer, PUDO

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the 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 One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.

Waymo's commercial service is running in five cities, and the associated infrastructure is in an early stage and requires investment for Waymo to grow into a high scale, world-class service.

  • Collaborate with software engineers on the PUDO team, product managers, designers, researchers, vehicle engineers, AI experts, and fleet operations to build cohesive, user-centered solutions.

You have:

  • BS/MS degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

  • 3+ years of software development experience

  • Experience with modern Android application development

  • Experience with in-car / infotainment / vehicle software

  • Experience with C++
