Senior Software Engineer, Routing

Nuro
California
Who We Are

Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale, empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.

About The Role

The Routing Team crafts vital services that ensure Nuro Driver™ reaches destinations safely and efficiently. We continuously refine our routing engine to calculate more efficient routes, deliver highly accurate ETAs, and manage scalable traffic for every journey, adapting as our business / geolocation expands and mapping infrastructure evolves.

About The Work

  • You will work on building and scaling both the backend systems and onboard modules for the Routing team. This includes everything from designing microservices, optimizing our routing algorithms, understanding road network graphs, building monitoring and analytics infrastructure, optimizing our deployment pipeline, and more.
  • You will work with product, strategy, and operations teams to design and build new, magical user experiences, and define our product strategy and roadmap.

About You

  • Technical excellence.
    • You have at least 3-5 years of building and scaling realtime server-side applications.
    • You have worked on large-scale complex algorithm problems, and know how to balance correctness and performance.
    • You are proficient in C++ programming
    • You know how to choose the right storage technology for the job. You have experience with a wide-range of databases, including relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL), non-relational (BigTable, Cassandra, Redis, etc), and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc).
    • You know your way around RPC frameworks (gRPC, Thrift) and pubsub systems (Kafka, Cloud PubSub, Celery, etc).
    • Experience in training and inferencing ML models.
    • You have extensive experience working with cloud providers (GCP, AWS, etc).
    • You have experience working with Docker & Kubernetes, or are willing to learn.
  • You have a wide-range of technical skills, you love learning new technologies and you’re a quick learner.
  • You have a passion for making lives easier for developers. You love working on tooling that will help engineers more easily troubleshoot, debug, and profile their applications.
  • You have the knack for making the right tradeoffs. You know when it makes sense to take the quick-and-dirty vs the scalable approach. You can move fluently between the two.
  • You care about users. You like to work closely with product and design to build the best product for our consumers.
  • You are a great communicator, and you regularly chat with PMs, UXRs, other engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders on product requirements and designs.
  • You are impact-driven. You care deeply that your work makes a significant impact on the lives of millions of people.
