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.

In our cars, you’re free to be yourself. It’s the same here at Cruise. We’re creating a culture that values the experiences and contributions of all of the unique individuals who collectively make up Cruise, so that every employee can do their best work. 

Cruise is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, both in our workplace and in our products. 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, come join us. Even if you might not meet every requirement, we strongly encourage you to apply. You might just be the right candidate for us.

This team works on a cutting edge web platform,Webviz, that visualizes what the AV (“autonomous vehicle”) sees and plans to do. Webviz is at the core of AV development and is used daily by the entire engineering organization. Webviz is also used by the marketing team to produce demo videos to show the world what the Cruise AV can do. Our open source fork is used by robotics companies across the globe (Github). We’ve built Webviz primarily in React, WebGL and C++ (compiled to WASM).

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and building next-generation technology for the future of Webviz. Some problem areas that we’re currently working on:

• Streaming gigabytes of data from the cloud to the browser quickly and efficiently

• Optimizing our message and graphics pipelines to render data blazingly fast

• Forging AV stack integrations so that engineers can trigger AV simulations directly from Webviz

• Visualizing AV behaviors in ways that can be immediately understood. E.g. what object was the AV reacting to in an unprotected left turn?

• Working closely with AV developers to engineer entirely new tools that they use every day to enable them to develop and understand the next generation of autonomy/robotics software

• Spearheading new product areas and think big about the future of AV development

• Driving collaboration with our open source partners across the world

What you must have:

• Familiarity with React and Typescript

• Passionate about self-driving technology and its potential impact on the world

• MS or Ph.D. in CS, Math, Physics, or equivalent real-world experience.

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a focus on data-intensive interactive software

Bonus points!

• Experience writing modern production C++ applications

• Experience with game development

• Experience with WebAssembly (WASM) or graphics

• A background in robotics, ROS, or the AV industry

The salary range for this position is $146,300 - 215,000. Compensation will vary depending on location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. You may also be offered a bonus, restricted stock units, and benefits. These ranges are subject to change.
