Software Engineer, Autonomy Visualization

Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro has spent eight years developing autonomous driving (AD) technology and commercializing AD applications. The Nuro Driver™ is our world-class autonomous driving system that combines AD hardware with our generalized AI-first self-driving software. Built to learn and improve through data, the Nuro Driver™ is one of the few driverless autonomous technologies on public roads today. 

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Fidelity, Bailie Gifford, T. Rowe Price, Google, and other leading investors. We’ve partnered with some of the world’s most respected brands including Uber, FedEx, Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven.

About the Role

Visualization apps serve multiple critical functions at Nuro

1. Autonomy development
• Debugging tool for Autonomy SWEs & ML researchers
• Foundation of bespoke labeling tools for ML training data
2. Autonomy validation
• Triage tool for operations and leadership to build deployment safety case
3. Autonomy product
• In-car visualization to be licensed to OEMs as part of Nuro Driver
4. Partnerships & Fundraising
• Demos for prospective investors & partners

On the Autonomy Visualization team, your top priority will be developing high quality visualization platforms. These platforms will allow any software engineer to add new viz elements. They should be able to concisely write the business logic for their new element, and not have to think about performance, IO, or to what frontend it will be served (desktop app, web browser).

Additionally, you’ll also have the opportunity to work end-to-end on viz features and products, exercising both your technical skills, product sense, and cross-functional communication.
