    Principal Engineer - San Francisco, United States - Waymo

    Default job background
    Description


    Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they're going.

    Since our start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has been focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver—to improve everyone's access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes.

    Our Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, as well as Waymo Via, our trucking and local delivery service.

    To date, Waymo has driven over 20 million miles autonomously on public roads across 25 U.S. cities and conducted over 20 billion miles of simulation testing.

    At Waymo, we are mission-driven and believe deeply in the opportunity of autonomous driving technology to improve mobility and make people's lives better.

    We are united by purpose and responsibility (for our employees and riders alike).

    We are looking for kind, committed, employees who have integrity, dream big, work together as one team and create a sense of belonging for one another that is the foundation of our culture.

    We want each team member to feel welcomed and included in every step of our exciting journey.
    Software Engineering builds the brains of Waymo's fully autonomous driving technology.

    Our software allows the Waymo Driver to perceive the world around it, make the right decision for every situation, and deliver people safely to their destinations.

    We think deeply and solve complex technical challenges in areas like robotics, perception, decision-making and deep learning, while collaborating with hardware and systems engineers.

    If you're a software engineer or researcher who's curious and passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, we'd like to meet you.


    Day-to-day activities and responsibilities:
    You will take on technical leadership for part of Waymo One's backend systems.

    The exact team will depend on your interests and qualifications, but we have teams working on systems such as vehicle scheduling, dynamic pricing, partner APIs, and experimentation.

    You will build a solid long-term technical foundation while also fielding the near-term needs of Waymo One. Our service is still early, and we need an adaptable leader who can reprioritize on the fly.

    This is primarily a technical role and does not require people management, though we could consider that if the candidate is interested.


    Required experience:
    Technical lead of a significant backend effort, ideally with several moving parts
    Strong ability to work with other teams, including non-engineering teams. You should be able to negotiate technical solutions that match product needs and timelines
    Working across many different parts of a complex stack, not just focusing on a single piece of software

    Preferred experience:
    An ideal candidate is seen as a "fixer" in their prior roles, someone whom leadership tapped to drop into projects and turn them around or clarify focus
    Ability to dive into a complex backend system and make sense of it, including live debugging and learning the codebase
    C++ and distributed systems experience
    Experience working at another transportation company or similar consumer-oriented experience
    While at Waymo, you will enjoy benefits that cover...

    Health and wellness:
    Our people are at the heart of everything we do.

    At Waymo, you can enjoy top-notch medical, dental and vision insurance, mental wellness support, a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), a Health Saving Account (HSA), and special wellness programs.


    Financial wellness:
    Your financial peace of mind is important to us.

    At Waymo, we offer competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, equity, a generous 401(k) plan, 1-on-1 financial coaching, a 529 College Savings Plan and lots of other perks and employee discounts.


    Flexibility and time off:
    Take the time you need to relax and recharge. Enjoy the flexibility to work from another location for four weeks per year.

    We support an on-site or hybrid work model and offer remote working opportunities, paid time off, bereavement, sick, and parental leave.


    Supporting families:
    When it comes to growing your family or caring for your loved ones, you have our full support.

    Enhanced leave options include paid parental leave (birthing parent gets 24 weeks of paid leave with up to 4 weeks of additional leave before their due date, and non-birthing parent gets 18 weeks of paid leave), and 20 days of subsidized backup childcare or adult/elder care.

    Access to fertility care or adoption support as you grow your family.

    Community and personal development:
    At Waymo, you'll find a range of opportunities to grow, connect, and give back.

    We offer education reimbursement, personal and professional development, mentorship, and other ways to connect through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), other internal groups, and even time off to volunteer.


    Cool perks:
    Access to Google offices, cafes, wellness centers, massages, and so much more. To support your wellbeing at home, you can enjoy at-home fitness and cooking classes, and more.
    The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is listed below.

    Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level.

    Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the role location or, if the role can be performed remote, the specific salary range for your preferred location, during the hiring process.

    Waymo employees are also eligible to participate in Waymo's discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.

    Salary Range $315,000—$398,000 USD
