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
