Software Engineer- Maps Rendering
Job description
At Applied we treat maps not as a static dataset, but as a single integrated, self-healing data flywheel powering Physical AI. Fleets of vehicles collect ground truth from multimodal sensors which feed ingestion pipelines, dynamic change detection algorithms, machine learning models, and real-time onboard localization and map fusion —closing the loop between field data collection and instantaneous autonomy stack updates.
All of this map data needs to be visualized and edited performantly. In this full time role on the Maps team, you’ll help us build out map visualization tools that operate at every part of the process of developing an autonomy stack.
Our map editor is used everyday by…
Job responsibilities
- Own and drive forward a 3D WebGPU map visualization and editing engine.
- Integrate the map visualization and editing engine into experiences across the company, including our primary map editor
- Build multiplayer web-based editing experiences
- Hold the line and drive best practices on performance: we expect to run at 120fps on any modern machine for country-scale HD maps
- Integrate mapping tools from across the company and industry, including map querying, map validation and programmatic map transforms
- Help define data storage formats that support map visualization
- Work with other engineers to develop data schemas and APIs that are visualization-friendly
- Work across all 3D experiences at the company to ensure an integrated fit and feel
Job requirements
- BS in in Computer Science, Robotics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Graphics or related engineering field
- 3+ years working deeply with web-based graphics: WebGL, WebGPU, three.js or similar
- 2+ years experience on frontend development including Typescript and one modern frontend framework (React, Svelte, Vue, SolidJS etc)
- 3+ years of experience in mapping, preferably in HD maps used for autonomous driving
- Engineering Practices: Scalable distributed systems, CI/CD workflows, version control, and cross-team collaboration using Jira and Git-based tooling
