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.

BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of direct coding experience. Backend or infrastructure preferred..
Experience with backend coding languages: C++, (secondary Python).

Experience implementing algorithms for multidimensional systems.
Practical knowledge in any of the fields of dynamics (system response, mechanics, system modelling) , optimization (gradient descent, linear algebra, filtering), control (linear, state space, stochastic, feedback control), operations research (constraint optimization, Linear programming) and/or implementing design patterns.
Passion for working in cross functional environments that include nontechnical stakeholders
Familiarity with Google infrastructure (e.g. Flume, Borg, Protocol Buffers, OnePlatform)
Experience with operations tooling, developer productivity, or developer tools
