Job description

The Driver Understanding and Evaluation (DUE) team at Waymo is developing rich metrics for understanding the behavior of the Waymo Driver in the real world, and technologies such as context and scene analysis to understand driving, understanding and augmenting real world driving data to generate rare driving events, build large scale data infrastructure, improve components such as agents and a realistic simulator. These technologies come together to drive the overall technical strategy and methodology used to evaluate the behavior of the Waymo Driver.

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver.

Job responsibilities

  • Lead the architectural design and hands-on development of advanced Agentic AI systems, focusing on multi-agent orchestration, tool execution, and complex reasoning loops for event triage.
  • Engineer scalable agentic workflows using modern LLM orchestration frameworks to fully automate and augment triage capabilities for Engineering and SWQOps.
  • Design and deploy stateful agentic infrastructure, including long-term memory management (RAG, vector databases), semantic routing, and custom internal tool integrations.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partner teams to embed autonomous agents directly into the Waymo Driver evaluation lifecycle.
  • Mentor engineers within DUE Experience on agentic development patterns, and prompt engineering
  • Tackle broad, ambiguous automation problems by breaking them down into actionable multi-agent projects and leading the technical execution of the roadmap.

Job requirements

  • Significant experience (typically 8+ years) in software engineering, with a focus on designing and building large-scale, complex distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in applied LLMs and Agentic AI development, with a proven track record of building multi-agent systems, reasoning engines, and autonomous workflows.
  • Strong proficiency with agent orchestration frameworks and advanced prompt engineering.
  • Proven ability to execute technical strategy, influence partner teams, and drive end-to-end development of AI-native applications in ambiguous domains.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align cross-functional stakeholders on agentic concepts and system limitations.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
