If you're someone who's curious and passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, self-directed and product-minded and enjoy working on cross-cutting problems that require cross-team collaboration, both technically (mobile app, cloud backends, and the Waymo Driver) and functionally (operations, product, legal, partnerships, policy & privacy) to develop and deliver business critical infrastructure, Then we'd like to meet you!

• Solve hard, real-world problems such as demand planning, pickup / dropoff optimization, fleet optimization, field escalation handling, and more
• Navigate uncertainty, solving large, open-ended problems

You have:

• BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years experience working with backend tech (e.g. C++, Spanner)
• 2+ years of people management experience
• TL or technical leadership skills
• Ability to think strategically and architecturally, while balancing short- and long-term needs

It's a bonus if you have:

• Experience working in environments including nontechnical team members
• Familiarity with Google infrastructure (e.g. Flume, Borg, Protocol Buffers, OnePlatform)
• Experience with operations tooling, developer productivity, or developer tools
• Experience with optimization / OR scheduler
• Experience with Geo (pathfinder, mapfacts, walking directions)
