Sunnyvale. Posted a month ago

The role

You will design and develop systems for Neural Simulation to turn real-world driving data into high-fidelity simulation environments. This involves building scalable closed loop simulation systems, ML workflows, and large-scale data processing architectures.

What you will do

  • Design and build scalable closed loop simulation systems using Neural Reconstruction
  • Architect systems that process and manage large-scale data
  • Develop infrastructure for ML workflows including training pipelines, evaluation and validation systems, and model inference pipelines
  • Design and optimize storage solutions for structured, unstructured, and multimodal data
  • Improve system reliability, observability, and performance across distributed services
  • Collaborate with Infra, Autonomy, Research and other product teams
  • Take ownership of critical systems and influence architecture and product decisions

Required qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience shipping complex, large-scale software
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • Proven track record of designing, building, and operating scalable distributed systems, data pipelines, and data storage solutions
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Experience with containerized systems (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience with backend development in Python and Go
  • Strong system design and problem-solving skills

Nice to have

  • Experience building or supporting ML training and serving infrastructure
  • Experience with GPU workloads and large-scale batch orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes jobs, Ray, Airflow)
  • Experience with synthetic data generation or data augmentation for ML
  • Familiarity with computer vision, 3D reconstruction (e.g., Gaussian Splatting), or sensor simulation (camera, LiDAR, radar)
  • Experience with autonomous driving or robotics systems
