Senior C++ Software Engineer, Cloud Apps (Embedded)

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development and deployment of our next-generation Robotaxi platform.

Our team develops distributed applications that run on the vehicle’s edge computer. As a Senior Engineer, you will architect and build the applications that establish a real-time Autonomous Vehicle-to-Cloud data pipeline, enabling critical services like fleet monitoring, remote vehicle control, and passenger safety systems.

Beyond the core driving technology, we also work on enhancing the passenger experience. This includes seamlessly integrating in-cabin displays, enabling direct communication with remote customer support, intelligently monitoring the cabin for safety and comfort, and precisely controlling the vehicle’s interior.

What will you be doing:

• Architect & Build: Design and implement a robust, performance-critical data pipeline for cloud-vehicle interaction, ensuring low latency and high reliability over cellular networks.
• Technical Leadership: Lead the design and development of in-vehicle software components that enable monitoring, dispatch, and control from the cloud.
• System Ownership: Drive technical requirements by partnering directly with product manager, cloud engineers, and Operations teams, translating high-level goals into concrete system architectures.
• Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and establish engineering best practices to maintain high code quality standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with test engineering and operations teams to define validation strategies and ensure successful field adoption of your solutions.

What we hope you’ll come with: 

• 5+ years of professional work experience as a software engineer, with deep expertise in modern C++ (11/14/17) on Linux platforms.
• A proven track record of designing and optimizing multi-threaded, asynchronous systems where performance and memory management are critical.
• Deep knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and OS primitives.
• Experience taking complex features from concept to production, including design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, continuous delivery environment.
• Experience designing applications that interface with cloud-native services (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT) for telemetry, remote command and control, and secure over-the-air updates.

Bonus Points for experience with: 

• Experience with distributed systems middleware (e.g., DDS, gRPC) and IoT protocols (e.g., MQTT, Protobuf).
• Hands-on experience with ARM-based embedded systems and cross-compilation toolchains.
• Proficiency in Python or Golang for tooling and scripting.
• Experience leading technical projects in a globally distributed team.
