We are building a team of engineers dedicated to further developing our in-car experience.  

Projects include the Pick Ups and Drop Offs (PUDO) experience, and Infotainment during passenger trips (music, games, maps). Our team works on the user interfaces used by customers to hail and control our autonomous vehicles. We build complex user experiences, phone-to-vehicle communications, and solve novel human-computer interaction problems in the AV space.

In this hybrid role, you will report to an Engineering Director.

You will:        

•    Set the overarching technical architecture, defining a multi-year technical vision across the entire in-car experience (ICX), bridging the gap between the different layers of the stack, from low-level hardware bring-up to our OS to rider-facing apps and features.  
•    Identify broad, cross-team bottlenecks (e.g., OS stability, rendering performance, release automation), and translate them into clear, actionable engineering milestones for the teams to execute on that improve both velocity and stability.    
•    Steer the technical integration of complex, high-impact features, such as our 3D car view, AI features, and in-car app ecosystem.    
•    Act as a force multiplier for the organization by establishing high standards for code health, system reliability, and testing excellence, while providing deep technical mentorship to junior and senior engineers.    
•    Make significant individual contributions in both design and code to ensure we can land the technically challenging work needed for this space to succeed, from implementing large changes to investigating tricky bugs.    

You have:    

•    Proven experience as a technical lead with a track record of setting strategic technical direction and delivering concrete solutions for complex, multi-team domains.
•    Experience working with Android/AOSP (building Android platform features, frameworks), not just developing apps on top of Android
•    Deep expertise spanning the modern application and embedded stack, specifically involving Android OS internals, C++ native layers, and modern UI frameworks (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), as well as complementary backend systems.
•    Strong system design skills with a demonstrated ability to decouple monolithic architectures, build reusable platform infrastructure, and optimize resource-constrained environments.
•    Exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills, capable of influencing without direct authority to build alignment across Product, UX, Systems Engineering, and Hardware teams.
•    AI-native mindset with a proven track record of deploying agent systems to improve team velocity.

We prefer:        

•    Familiarity with automotive context with Android.
•    Experience establishing frameworks for third-party experiences.
•    Experience integrating new hardware features into an extensible framework for 1P and 3P usage.
