About the role
Mission Summary
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Actions Sustaining Team to diagnose, develop and deploy solutions to solve the immediate challenges facing our deployed autonomous software. You will play a pivotal role in resolving issues that will help accelerate the growth of our autonomous capabilities.
What you'll be doing:
- Technical Discovery: Deep-dive into complex issues within the Planning and Controls stack reported by the triage team. You will parse logs and replay simulation data to find the "why" behind anomalous vehicle actions.
- Accelerated Resolutions: Own the deployment of software fixes. When a business need arises for an immediate solution, you will lead the development, testing, and deployment.
- Tooling & Automation: Identify improvements in existing workflows. You will develop internal tooling and scripts to expedite log analysis, automate common patterns, and improve the efficiency of the entire team.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the technical liaison between teams to ensure alignment between on-road issues and current development work.
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field. A Master’s or Ph.D. is preferred
- 3+ years of C++ software development proficiency, with a focus on building high-performance and resilient systems.
- Comfortable navigating and contributing to large, complex codebases where modularity and documentation are key.
- Proven track record of delivering software in a production environment, including familiarity with CI/CD, version control at scale, and rigorous release cycles.
- Passionate about a driverless future and understand the high stakes of deploying software that interacts with the physical world.
Bonus Points (not required):
- Experience in Jira, Confluence and Gitlab
- Background in robotics middleware (ROS, DDS) or autonomous systems.
