Who you are

You have 3-5 years of experience building and scaling real-time server-side applications — you've designed and implemented backend systems that handle complex routing tasks efficiently. Your technical excellence shines through your ability to optimize algorithms and understand road network graphs, ensuring that services are both reliable and performant.

You possess a deep understanding of microservices architecture — you've worked on projects that required you to design, develop, and deploy microservices that interact seamlessly. Your experience includes building monitoring and analytics infrastructure that provides insights into system performance and user behavior.

You are a collaborative team player who enjoys working with product, strategy, and operations teams — you understand the importance of cross-functional collaboration in delivering magical user experiences. Your communication skills allow you to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders effectively.

You are passionate about the potential of self-driving technology — you stay updated on industry trends and advancements, and you are eager to contribute to a mission that aims to make autonomy accessible to all. You thrive in an environment that fosters inclusion and psychological safety, and you are committed to supporting a diverse workplace.

Desirable

Experience with AI and machine learning concepts would be a plus — you understand how these technologies can enhance routing and navigation systems. Familiarity with cloud platforms and deployment pipelines is also beneficial, as it allows you to optimize the development process and improve system scalability.

What you'll do

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Routing Team, you will be responsible for building and scaling backend systems that ensure the Nuro Driver™ reaches its destinations safely and efficiently.
