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.

If you're someone who's curious and passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, proactive and product-minded and enjoy working 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, Then we'd like to meet you!

  • Navigate uncertainty, solving large, open-ended problems

You have:

  • BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
  • 6+ years experience working with backend tech (e.g. C++, Spanner)
  • 2+ years of people management experience
  • Technical leader experience

It's a bonus if you have:

  • Experience with operations tooling, developer productivity, or developer tools
  • Experience with optimization / OR scheduler
