Build scalable backend services and APIs that power frontend experiences. Ensure systems are secure, reliable, and performant at scale. Frontend Engineering: Develop modern, responsive UIs using frameworks such as React, Angular, or similar, collaborate with UX and product partners to deliver intuitive workflows and polished user experiences. Translate complex backend concepts into clear, usable interfaces. Design & Implementation: Utilize the latest cloud technologies (GCP/Azure) to design, implement, and test scalable distributed computing and data processing solutions in the cloud. Project Ownership: Take ownership of technical projects from inception to completion, contribute to the product roadmap, and make informed decisions on major technical trade‑offs. Collaboration: Engage effectively in team planning, code reviews, and design discussions, considering the impact of projects across multiple teams while proactively managing conflicts. Mentorship & Recruitment: Conduct technical interviews with calibrated standards, onboard, and mentor engineers and interns, fostering a culture of growth and knowledge sharing. What you must have: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including full‑stack development. Experience building and operating production‑grade web applications. 3+ years of experience leading and driving large‑scale initiatives. Proficiency in building scalable infrastructure on the cloud using Python, C++, Golang, or similar languages. Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases. Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain systems at scale. A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience. A passion for autonomous vehicle technology and its transformative potential. Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy. A proven track record of efficiently solving complex problems. A startup mentality with a willingness to embrace uncertainty and wear multiple hats. Bonus Points: Experience with Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Web Services. Experience with open‑source orchestration platforms such as Kubeflow, Flyte, Airflow, etc. Experience with Kubernetes. Understanding of Machine Learning (ML) models/pipelines. Python/C++/Golang proficiency. Relevant publications. Compensation: The expected base compensation for this role is: $218,800 – $335,300. Actual base compensation within the identified range will vary based on factors relevant to the position. You also need to include general information about potential commissions, if applicable.
