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 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.

  • Design systems to respond dynamically to signals from our fleet
  • Applying automated techniques to generate maps from raw data
  • Improving our internal tools for viewing and editing maps
  • Scaling our systems to support mapping the world

You have:

  • Experience building server side infra and data processing 
  • 3-5 years experience
  • Solid coding skills 
  • Ability to solve open-ended and difficult technical problems with little guidance
  • Good collaboration and communication skills
  • Excitement about learning new skills

It's a Bonus if you have:

  • M.S. or Ph.D in Computer Science or a similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • C++ Coding experience
