Responsibilities will consist of:

• Design, develop, document, test, maintain, and extend C++ application software that runs in production on our vehicles.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with other software teams (such as fleet, UI, perception and planning) to ensure we are building robust solutions that deliver concrete value to our customers
• Take ownership of several production software modules in our vehicle software stack
• Assist in the deployment of our software stack into production
• Provide elevated levels of support to assist with application-related field issues

Required Experience

• Degree in Computer Science, or a related field

• Excellent C++ programming and software engineering skills
• Excellent Linux systems programming skills
• Professional C++ experience in a high-performance, data-intensive domain (e.g., robotics, graphics, high-frequency trading, etc.)
• Experience with writing multi-paradigm code and the sensibility to know when to employ a particular technique: object-oriented, functional, generic, array-oriented, etc.

Desired Experience:

• General mobile robotics experience
• Professional experience with AMQP, ROS, ROS2, DDS, or other data-centric middleware
