Nuro is looking to solve the problem of making autonomy accessible to all by building the world's most scalable driver. The Routing Team specifically aims to ensure Nuro Driver™ reaches destinations safely and efficiently by continuously refining its routing engine to calculate more efficient routes, deliver highly accurate ETAs, and manage scalable traffic for every journey.
Requirements
- You have 8+ years of experience building and scaling realtime server-side applications.
- You have worked on large-scale complex algorithm problems, and know how to balance correctness and performance.
- You are proficient in C++ programming
- You know how to choose the right storage technology for the job. You have experience with a wide-range of databases, including relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL), non-relational (BigTable, Cassandra, Redis, etc), and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc).
- You know your way around RPC frameworks (gRPC, Thrift) and pubsub systems (Kafka, Cloud PubSub, Celery, etc).
- Experience in training and inferencing ML models.
- You have extensive experience working with cloud providers (GCP, AWS, etc).
Responsibilities
- You will work on building and scaling both the backend systems and onboard modules for the Routing team.
- This includes everything from designing microservices, optimizing our routing algorithms, understanding road network graphs, building monitoring and analytics infrastructure, optimizing our deployment pipeline, and more.
- You will work with product, strategy, and operations teams to design and build new, magical user experiences, and define our product strategy and roadmap.
Other
- You have a wide-range of technical skills, you love learning new technologies and you’re a quick learner.
- You have a passion for making lives easier for developers. You love working on tooling that will help engineers more easily troubleshoot, debug, and profile their applications.
- You have the knack for making the right tradeoffs. You know when it makes sense to take the quick-and-dirty vs the scalable approach. You can move fluently between the two.
- You care about users. You like to work closely with product and design to build the best product for our consumers.
- You are a great communicator, and you regularly chat with PMs, UXRs, other engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders on product requirements and designs.
