Want to build the next generation of infrastructure for driverless cars? Join our Commercialization team, and help design the future of transportation! We are looking for a passionate Staff SWE who wants to help build the systems that manage and increase Waymo's core ride hailing and fleet management systems. If you're someone who's curious and passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, self-directed and product-minded and enjoy working on cross-cutting problems that require cross-team collaboration, both technically (mobile app, cloud backends, and the Waymo Driver) and functionally (operations, product, legal, partnerships, policy & privacy) to develop and deliver business critical infrastructure, Then we'd like to meet you!

In this hybrid role you'll report to an Engineering Director.

You will:

• Help build and evolve one or more mission-critical commercialization tools and systems
• Collaborate with our Product, UX, and other engineering teams to develop systems and processes as business needs grow and evolve
• Solve hard, real-world problems such as demand planning, pickup / dropoff optimization, fleet optimization, field escalation handling, and more
• Navigate uncertainty, solving large, open-ended problems

You have:

• BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years experience working with backend tech (e.g. C++, Spanner)
• 2+ years of people management experience
• TL or technical leadership skills
• Ability to think strategically and architecturally, while balancing short- and long-term needs

It's a bonus if you have:

• Experience working in environments including nontechnical team members
• Familiarity with Google infrastructure (e.g. Flume, Borg, Protocol Buffers, OnePlatform)
• Experience with operations tooling, developer productivity, or developer tools
• Experience with optimization / OR scheduler
• Experience with Geo (pathfinder, mapfacts, walking directions)
