Software Engineer (SE / Sr SE), Data Infrastructure

Job description

Our autonomous-driving fleet generates petabyte-scale sensor and system data. In this role, you will own critical parts of the path that makes this data reliable and useful—from high-throughput recording on the vehicle to transfer, validation, cataloging, and efficient access for replay, analytics, and machine learning. You will work primarily in modern C++ and Python, solving systems challenges across resource-constrained vehicle computers and large-scale offline infrastructure. We welcome engineers from systems, robotics, storage, or data-infrastructure backgrounds; prior autonomous-vehicle experience is helpful but not required.

We are open to candidates at either the Software Engineer…

Job responsibilities

  • Design and evolve high-throughput C++ systems that continuously record vehicle sensor and runtime data, selectively capture events, and collect system telemetry while operating safely under CPU, memory, disk, and…
  • Build reliable Python data-plane services and libraries for vehicle-data transfer, ingestion, validation, domain-specific format conversion, metadata extraction, cataloging, and storage lifecycle management
  • Evolve versioned vehicle-data formats and their C++ and Python APIs, including indexing, serialization, compression, schema evolution, and backward compatibility
  • Evolve columnar and lakehouse representations and access APIs for vehicle data, improving scalability and performance for fleet-scale mining, replay, and analytics
  • Ensure that your work is performed in accordance with the company’s Quality Management System (QMS) requirements and contribute to continuous improvement efforts

Job requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Programming experience in modern C++ and working proficiency in Python for services, libraries, and tooling
  • Linux systems knowledge, including concurrency, memory and resource management, filesystem and storage I/O, networking, debugging, and performance profiling
  • Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership: a quick learner who is eager to take responsibility and drive projects forward end to end
  • Familiarity with protobuf, gRPC, compression or media codecs, and native C++/Python bindings
  • Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, ROS or ROS 2, robotics log formats such as rosbag or MCAP, or other high-throughput recording and telemetry systems
  • Experience with columnar data formats or lakehouse table technologies such as Parquet, Delta Lake, or Apache Iceberg
