Software Engineer, Scalability Systems - Waymo

Perception's system architecture is at the heart of many of our onboard and offboard systems. Our systems power the development of hundreds of engineers. Using these core investments, you would be able to work with our teams to make the technology fast and flexible for our applications. With recent attention on Perception Eval and pivots to meet new requirements for Foundation Models, an execution gap has surfaced to improve Perception distributed systems with a specific focus on Evaluation. You would be invested in improving distributed systems across Perception with specific attention towards evaluation systems.

You will:

• Report into our Head of Perception Scalability
• Pivot among different areas and prioritize projects across Perception, Data Extraction, Evaluation
• Improve latency and correctness and Data Extraction speed
• Build a system to easily find source of truth performance and experiment metrics and build a Launch Eval tool

You have:

• 3+ years experience in C++, Python , Algorithms, and System Design
• Familiarity with Google Infrastructure: Flume, Spanner, Borg, Guitar
• 3+ years of experience in data analysis at a large-scale
• 3+ years experience working on a multi-component ML system and building measurable signals to improve it
• Excited about building solutions to complex problems.

We prefer:

• Robotics or physical systems background (deploying software to the cloud is one thing, deploying software to a fleet of vehicles is another thing entirely)
• Love of developing beautiful and elegant code
• Experience developing in Python
• An understanding of ML lifecycle, Model Deployment, and Model Optimization
• 3+ years experience building systems with hundreds of users for edge computing
