Job Description

Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world.

Key Responsibilities

We are looking for a Senior/Staff Software Engineer to serve as a technical leader for Nuro’s ML Data engine. You will sit at the critical intersection of Autonomy, Machine Learning, and Infrastructure, acting as an architect for the systems that feed our autonomy AI models.
In this role you will be a member of the Autonomy team responsible for executing the technical strategy for transforming massive amounts of autonomy data into high-value training signals for autonomy decision making. You will design and build data products for autonomy researchers, develop queries for rare "needle-in-a-haystack" scenarios, and trigger labeling and data ingestion workflows without human intervention. You will partner directly with Autonomy ML researchers to understand their data needs, collaborate with infrastructure teams to define the right data interfaces and APIs, and build robust data selection, simulation, and introspection tools that can process data at scale. If you love solving challenging new problems with a mindset of deriving practical solutions to be used in the physical world, come join us

Requirements

Required Qualifications
7+ years of experience with a proven track record of technical leadership architecting and delivering complex, multi-system ML data engineering data systems.
Education: B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent practical experience.
Understanding of end-to-end ML data pipelines and their interaction with model training and evaluation.
Strong proficiency in C++ and Python, with petabyte-level data management experience.
Experience taking data concepts (e.g., "uncertainty sampling") and turning them into stable, 24/7 production services.
Prior experience working in large companies with productionized AI systems working on data engines for large scale machine learning.
Experience in workflow orchestration, introspection UI/UX for data understanding, and ML frameworks for foundation model training.
Expertise in data-centric AI topics (active learning, pre-training) and their application in autonomous systems.
You have subject matter expertise and research in one or more of the following areas: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Robotics , and have some familiarity with the state of the art in ML for autonomous driving and data utilization.
At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $193,930 and $352,290 for the level at which this job has been scoped.
