Job Description
At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.
Key Responsibilities
- Data is the foundation of autonomous driving. Every improvement in Nuro’s autonomy stack depends on identifying the right real-world examples, transforming them into high-quality training and evaluation datasets, and rigorously validating that each software release is ready for the road.
- As Head of Software Operations, you will lead the organization responsible for this critical development loop—from producing the data that trains and evaluates Nuro’s AI models to identifying autonomy regressions and building confidence in every software release. Your work will directly influence how quickly our models learn, how effectively engineering teams resolve performance gaps, and how safely new capabilities reach the vehicle.
- Sitting at the center of Nuro’s autonomy organization, your team will work closely with machine learning, autonomy, simulation, onboard systems, data science, and product teams. You will also help Nuro take advantage of emerging technologies, including multimodal foundation models, LLMs to improve how training data is created and how system performance is evaluated.
- We are looking for a proactive, technically fluent operational leader who can identify gaps across the autonomy development lifecycle and build the teams, systems, and partnerships needed to close them. You will define the long-term vision for software operations while developing an organization equally capable of navigating ambiguity, executing disciplined processes, and staying aligned with Nuro’s broader technical roadmap.
Requirements
- 10+ years of operational leadership experience, with 5+ years in AV, robotics, or complex ML operations including budget or P&L ownership
- Proven track record managing large-scale onshore and offshore vendor operations (labeling/annotation), both operationally and commercially
- Strong working knowledge of AI systems and cross-functional collaboration with engineering and product teams
- Strong analytical skills to identify root causes of KPI gaps and drive execution to resolve them
- Demonstrated ability to build and scale operational organizations in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
