Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states. You will: • Train, evaluate, and ship production machine learning models to score rider risk in real time, directly protecting revenue from payment fraud and reducing vehicle vandalism. • Engineer and maintain high-throughput, low-latency feature pipelines over payment, trip, device, and identity events, ensuring consistency between offline training and online serving. • Build and operate the real-time model serving infrastructure integrated into the critical trip creation and payment authorization paths under strict latency and availability budgets. • Design and implement safe, graduated enforcement mechanisms with full audit trails, reversibility, and support for rider appeals. • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, and Safety to balance revenue protection, rider trust, and compliance as Waymo scales to new markets. You have: • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent practical experience. • 8+ years of software engineering experience building distributed backend systems or production ML systems (Python, Java, Kotlin, C++, Go, or similar). • Hands-on experience training, evaluating, and deploying machine learning models to production. • Experience serving models or critical business logic in low-latency, high-availability production environments. • Strong fundamentals in data modeling, and SQL analytics. We prefer: • Experience in fraud prevention, risk management, trust & safety, payments, or another adversarial domain where attackers actively adapt. • Experience with graph/entity-clustering techniques, rules engines, and anomaly detection alongside traditional ML. • Proven track record building feature/data pipelines and maintaining consistency between training data and real-time inference. • Experience serving models or critical business logic in low-latency, high-availability production environments.
