Site Reliability Engineer, Vehicle Software

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Build and improve tooling, automation, observability, and incident-management processes for vehicle software reliability.
• Work closely with field engineers, software teams, and operations to diagnose reliability issues and improve system performance.
• Own hands-on debugging across Linux, low-level systems, logs, metrics, traces, and vehicle and production data.
• Develop reliability improvements that reduce manual intervention and make issue detection, triage, and recovery faster.
• Support vehicle-centric operations, including safety-operator tools and the reliability needs of our customer and partner programs.

Job requirements

• You will write production-quality code every day in Python, C++, or Rust. This is a software engineering role as much as a reliability role, and coding is central to the work.
• Comfortable debugging at the Linux and systems level, reading logs, tracing failures, and finding root cause in complex environments.
• Experience with CI/CD, containerization, networking, distributed systems, databases, and observability and incident-management tooling, including DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Splunk, or Humio.
• Experience diagnosing complex production or operational systems, not just escalating, but seeing problems through to resolution.
• The communication skills to work effectively across engineering, operations, and field teams, and the judgment to know when to bring others in.
• Based in Sunnyvale and able to be onsite at least three days a week to work alongside the field teams you will support.
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, embedded systems, or safety-critical environments. We know this is rare, and it is not a barrier to applying.
• Experience with large-scale telemetry or high-volume data pipelines.
