Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

 

 

You will:

  • Own the architectural design and hands-on development of robust Agentic AI components, focusing on multi-agent orchestration, tool execution, and reasoning loops for event triage.
  • Engineer scalable agentic workflows using modern LLM orchestration frameworks to automate and augment triage capabilities for Engineering and SWQOps.
  • Implement stateful agentic infrastructure, including long-term memory management (RAG, vector databases), semantic routing, and custom internal tool integrations.
  • Collaborate with partner teams to embed autonomous agents directly into the Waymo Driver evaluation lifecycle.
  • Tackle complex automation problems by breaking them down into actionable multi-agent projects and driving the technical execution of the team's roadmap.

You have:

  • Significant experience (typically 5+ years) in software engineering, with a focus on designing, building, and maintaining complex distributed systems.
  • Strong expertise in applied LLMs and Agentic AI development, with a proven track record of building multi-agent systems, reasoning engines, or autonomous workflows.
  • Strong proficiency with agent orchestration frameworks and advanced prompt engineering.
  • Proven ability to execute on technical strategy, collaborate inclusively with cross-functional teams, and drive end-to-end development of AI-native applications.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clarify technical limitations and solutions for partner teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

 

We prefer:

  • Master's or PhD in Computer Science or a related field, with a specialization in AI/ML or a related area.
  • Experience developing custom tools/plugins for agents, semantic routers, and implementing complex multi-agent collaborative patterns.
  • Familiarity with autonomous vehicle simulation, testing, or evaluation domains.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python, with experience building production-grade microservices and pipelines.
  • Experience working with large-scale data processing, knowledge graphs, and distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with Google's or Waymo's internal AI/ML platforms and infrastructure.
