Senior Fullstack Software Engineer, Event Response

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’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.

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.

The Event Response & Regulatory Reporting team is dedicated to ensuring Waymo's ability to efficiently, safely, and compliantly respond to any incident from a single stranded vehicle to a fleet-wide challenge. We are the architects of the systems, tooling, and operational blueprints that power Waymo's real-time reliability and regulatory compliance.

The team works to minimize the impact of any event by building the foundational technology and processes that transform incident management from a reactive scramble into a rapid, efficient, and scalable operation. We enable Waymo to maintain high service quality and meet critical safety standards as the fleet grows.
