What You Bring
We are looking for a strong generalist software engineer who leans heavily toward practical execution and is comfortable navigating large-scale, interconnected systems.
You have
- Engineering Craftsmanship:
- 5+ years of industry experience in software development.
- Solid proficiency in C++ (preferred) or Python, with a strong ability to read, navigate, and debug large, existing codebases.
- Experience building orchestration, dynamic configuration, or integration layers for large-scale software systems.
- Practical Problem Solving:
- A proven track record of delivering working solutions in highly complex, ambiguous technical domains.
- A pragmatic approach to engineering. You are willing to find compromises and make the right trade-offs to achieve the broader goal, avoiding the trap of over-engineering or getting stuck in "ideal land."
- Collaboration & Communication:
- Exceptional communication skills. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, negotiating technical boundaries, and building successful partnerships with upstream and downstream teams.
We prefer
- Deep passion for solving complex evaluation problems with simulation technology to advance autonomous driving.
- Track record in delivering goals via practical solutions.
- Background in fields that rely heavily on complex systems integration, such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, simulation, or large backend infrastructure.
