Description:

The Staff Software Engineer will be part of the Autonomy Evaluation team responsible for measuring the performance of the self-driving system.
This role involves developing evaluation methods, metrics pipelines, and tooling that will directly influence development priorities, system architecture, and operational domain decisions.
The goal is to provide a reliable and highly differentiable signal for the product development team to optimize and deliver the best possible product.
Responsibilities include setting the technical direction for the team, aligning stakeholders and customer teams, and staying updated on the latest research literature for measuring autonomous vehicle performance.
The engineer will identify limitations of existing autonomy performance indicators and develop novel methods to improve them.
Understanding the inner workings of various autonomy components (localization, perception, prediction, planning, controls, etc.) is essential to develop a cohesive strategy for measuring and progressing the self-driving system.
The role requires close collaboration with systems engineers to ensure a safe and well-tested product is delivered.
The engineer will also identify bottlenecks and developer pain points to optimize workflows for an efficient autonomy development experience.
Writing software to run offline simulations, compute autonomy performance measures, and aggregate/visualize results is a key responsibility.

Requirements:

Candidates must have past technical leadership experience, including designing, developing, and leading multiple projects to completion.
Strong experience in software engineering and algorithm design is required.
Proficiency in Python is essential.
Solid experience with SQL and C++ is also necessary.

Stack is committed to being an equal opportunity workplace, promoting diversity across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
The company fosters a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
