Waymo's standard text
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.

You will:
Help build and evolve mission-critical horizontal infrastructure and tooling that underpins all commercialization systems
Collaborate with other engineering teams to develop systems and processes as business needs grow and evolve
Help scale our systems to meet the demands of commercial expansion and growing complexity
Solve hard, real-world problems such as world simulation for regression testing and evaluation of software services managing fleets for autonomous vehicles
You have:
BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
5+ years of backend or infrastructure experience
We prefer:
