About the role
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. 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. Commercialization Engineering is building out the tools and systems that power Waymo’s commercial offering. Driver Validation sits directly on the critical path for Waymo's growth, enabling the safe and predictable launch of new cities and vehicle platforms. The core challenge is building a generalized resource allocation and management ecosystem (Carplan, SOUL, Scout, CATS) that optimizes the matching of vehicle supply and human operators with complex data collection demand.

You have: • BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience • 8+ years of experience in software development • 5+ years of people management experience • Experience as manager-of-managers and shaping an organization • Technical leadership experience We prefer: • 5+ years of experience with C++ • MS in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience • Experience in high growth / startup environments • Domain knowledge across the transportation, logistics, and/or autonomous vehicle industries • Domain knowledge in robotics, embedded systems Travel Requirements: • Up to 20% travel time
