Job Description

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 Fleet Response team's mission is to accelerate the safe deployment of Waymo's autonomous technology. Fleet Response operates at the cutting edge of our autonomous driving operations. In certain highly ambiguous or complex situations, the Waymo Driver can request the assistance of human Fleet Response Operators (FROs) to provide extra context and information. These operators participate in rigorous and extensive training programs before they begin working with real cars, and routinely undergo refresher training during their tenure. Peak human performance requires world-class training, and world-class training requires world-class training systems.

Work with operations leads to understand their continuously evolving training needs

You have:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or similar technical field of study
5+ years of industry experience with modern web frameworks
A generalist mindset, willing to learn a breadth of new skills
Significant experience with both frontend and backend systems
Enjoyment from working closely with your users

We prefer:

Experience bringing technical and non-technical groups together
Professional experience reading and writing great typescript code
Experience with C++, Java, or related structured programming language
