Job Description

We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.

We’re building the world’s most advanced, self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.

Cruisers have the opportunity to grow and develop while learning from leaders at the forefront of their fields. With a culture of internal mobility, there's an opportunity to thrive in a variety of disciplines. This is a place for dreamers and doers to succeed.

If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, join us.

We are looking for a talented Senior Full-Stack Engineer to design and implement frontend technologies to build and manage one of the largest labeled datasets in the self-driving industry.

Our Machine Learning Infrastructure Organization (MLI) builds the essential tools and frameworks used by every machine learning engineer at Cruise. MLI’s goal is to greatly accelerate the development cycle of machine learning models across the whole company, empowering machine learning engineers to focus on improving the car’s safety and performance, instead of worrying about their infrastructure. Our scope covers the whole lifecycle of machine learning at Cruise: feature processing, model training and deployment to vehicles. We care about the performance, ease of use, and reliability of our products. We are driven by the success of our partner teams who rely on our work to build the most advanced driverless cars in the world.

• Build a platform that is intuitive to use and new features that are easy to learn.
• Work closely with machine learning engineers to enable R&D efforts and improve existing systems.
• Drive best practices in our team and code bases: testing, software design/architecture for component reuse, driving changes in the tech stack towards quality and productivity

What you must have:

General:

• Passion for self-driving technology and its impact
• Experience and proficiency shipping products end-to-end
• Technical communication/collaboration skills: delegation, technical writing, driving alignment

Bonus points!

• Experience building interactive tools that are core to people's daily work
• Experience building data visualization products and supporting libraries such as three.js, d3, WebGL
• Experience working with Docker development and deployment workflows
• Experience with large-scale distributed storage and database systems (SQL or NoSQL, e.g. MySQL, Cassandra)
