Staff Software Engineer, Performance

As a Staff / Senior Staff Technical Lead on Onboard Performance, you will help define and build the high-performance, highly reliable foundation of the Nuro Driver. This role requires deep technical leadership across sensor and compute integration, onboard runtime systems, distributed execution, and autonomy software performance.

You will architect hardware-agnostic device interfaces, inter-device communication pipelines, runtime APIs, and onboard software platforms that enable Nuro’s autonomy stack to run safely and efficiently across current and future vehicle platforms. You will also lead system-wide performance and reliability efforts, including latency reduction, resource efficiency, observability, automated validation, and tooling for debugging complex onboard systems.
