Software Engineering builds the brains of Waymo's fully autonomous driving technology. Our software allows the Waymo Driver to perceive the world around it, make the right decision for every situation, and deliver people safely to their destinations. We think deeply and solve complex technical challenges in areas like robotics, perception, decision-making and deep learning, while collaborating with hardware and systems engineers.

The Fleet Response team's mission is to accelerate the safe deployment of Waymo's autonomous technology. Fleet Response operates at the cutting edge of our autonomous driving operations. In certain highly ambiguous or complex situations, the Waymo Driver can request the assistance of human Fleet Response Operators (FROs) to provide extra context and information. Our team works at the leading edge of Waymo's technology, figuring out how to combine on-vehicle and off-vehicle resources to get our autonomously driven vehicles on the road faster.

In this Software Engineering role, you'll

• Leverage offboard resources to help our self-driving vehicles in highly ambiguous or complex situations.
• Prototype and deploy safe, robust, and reliable solutions to real-world challenges in autonomous driving.
• Work with onboard engineering teams to anticipate and plan for issues at the edge of our self-driving capabilities.
• Work closely with our users, the Fleet Response Operations team.
• Work on mission-critical systems and infrastructure to support Waymo's state-of-the-art fleet
• Have the opportunity to work on the full length and breadth of the problem (web apps, distributed systems, data analysis, etc).

At a minimum we'd like you to have:

• BS degree in Computer Science or similar technical field of study
• Two years of full-stack industry experience with web applications.
• A generalist mindset, willing to learn a breadth of new skills.
• Enjoyment from working closely with your users.
• Experience with TypeScript, Angular, RxJS, or similar technologies.

It's preferred that you have experience with some of:

• Bringing technical and non-technical groups together.
• Distributed systems.
• Web applications where reliability, scale, or performance is critical.
