Senior Software Engineer (ADAS)

The Road Features Group, a sub-organization within ADAS & ADS at TomTom, is the algorithmic engine that drives the creation of highly accurate HD maps to facilitate lane level navigation of Autonomous Vehicles. We create digital twins of road networks faster and more accurately than ever before. Utilizing diverse data sources including on-vehicle, aerial and street-side sensors producing semantic 3D data, we ensure comprehensive extraction of road surfaces, drivable lanes, traffic behaviors, and physical structures. The Road Markings team is pivotal in this effort, extracting all paint on roads, from lane dividers to pedestrian crossings and surface signs. Join us in setting new standards for mapping technology and making road feature extraction smarter and more efficient.   We are searching for a senior / mid-senior Software Engineer, with strong knowledge of system design and data pipelines. In this role, you will build systems and pipelines that will transform diverse geospatial and sensor data into the road markings that power TomTom maps. 

What you'll do:

• Engineer the libraries, development and testing pipelines that directly support the running, measurement and management of algorithms developed by Road Features.  
• Work directly with a talented Applied Science (AS) team to integrate Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and traditional algorithms into a common set of interfaces, regression testing and inference pipelines. 
• Build highly efficient testing and release processes to ensure reliable, data driven algorithm releases. 
• Collaborate and engage across the Organization to ensure algorithm libraries, once released, scale seamlessly in production. 
• Drive the technical decisions to improve engineering, test, and operational excellence best practices. 
• Develop resilient, scalable systems for the processing and delivery of data. 
• Take charge of projects, both within your team and across the organization, to ensure successful outcomes. 
• Support hiring for team vacancies, and investments into team and product health. 
• Be involved in every phase of the project lifecycle, from gathering requirements to designing, coding, testing, and integrating solutions. 

What you'll need:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, and5 years of experience in modern programming languages such as Python and Scala. 
• You know how to rapidly test and release an Algorithm library built in Python through Databrick (Spark) and Azure.  
• Experience with data processing tools, frameworks, and cloud technologies.   
• Proven experience in building and launching algorithmic libraries, including ML, into production. 
• Ability to quickly learn new languages and technologies, and lead others in doing the same. 
• Comfortable with both written and verbal communication in English. 
• Solid understanding of computer science principles, including object-oriented design, data structures, algorithm design, and complexity analysis. 
• In-depth knowledge of professional software engineering practices across the full software development lifecycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, and operations. 
• Experience in writing component-level system designs and evaluating technical feasibility trade-offs. 
• Knowledge of computer vision, image processing, SLAM or similar is a plus. 
• This position is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, or Madrid, Spain. Therefore, we can only accept candidates that already live in or are in the process of relocating to any of those areas. 

What we offer
A competitive compensation package, of course.  
Time and resources to grow and develop, including a personal development budget and paid leave for learning days, as well as paid access to e-learning resources such as O’Reilly and LinkedIn Learning. 
Time to support life outside of work, with enhanced parental leave plus paid leave to care for loved ones and volunteer in local communities.  
Work flexibility, where TomTom’ers, in agreement with their manager and team, use both the office and home to focus, collaborate, learn and socialize. It’s all about getting the best out of both worlds – we ask TomTom’ers to come to the office two days a week, and the remaining three are free to be worked in either location.
Improve your home office with a setup budget and get extra support with a monthly allowance. 
Enjoy options to work from your home country and abroad for a set number of days each year, to visit family and friends, or to simply explore the world we’re mapping.  
Take the holidays you want with a competitive holiday plan, plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday.
