Senior Software Engineer, In-field Behavior Response

Drive the future of autonomous driving by solving complex, on-road challenges across the behavior stack. In this high-visibility role, you'll have a broad view of Waymo's operations, from fleet management to release deployment, as you engineer scalable solutions for one of two critical domains. In Service Quality Reasoning, you will protect Waymo's brand across pickups, drop-offs, and compliance around emergency and civic vehicles.

In Intersection & Pedestrian Reasoning the focus is mitigating safety risks in high-stakes environments.

- Deploy to rapidly triage and root cause an active in-field issue. Directly launches features across the onboard and offboard stack to mitigate or solve the in-field behavioral issues.

- In terms of scope, we will be growing the SWEs to be most effective in Intersections/Peds and Service Quality respectively (both pretty large product areas), but depending on the urgency of the issue, they may be pulled into areas outside of this scope occasionally (e.g., Codes).

- Active members of the Onboard RRG working group, satisfying that group's responsibilities with an option to be an eng on-call member.

- When not actively deployed to solve high priority in-field production issues, works with their TLM to improve production monitoring and response capabilities of the org.

- BS/MS/PHD in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience

- General software engineering experience programming in C++ with robust and efficient code

- A "Breadth-First" mindset - you love learning about new things & thinking about how to make them better.

- Experience with data mining and analysis, e.g., using SQL,, to collect & analyze data and familiarity with ML systems
