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.

Cruisers have the opportunity to grow and develop while learning from leaders at the forefront of their fields. With a culture of internal mobility, there's an opportunity to thrive in a variety of disciplines. This is a place for dreamers and doers to succeed.

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, join us.

The Autonomous Vehicle Security (AVsec) team at Cruise focuses on securing the autonomous vehicle itself.  This includes all the AV components in the vehicle, how they communicate with each other, and the vehicle’s communication to our back office systems.  This requires partnering with groups throughout the company to create and deliver components and systems that are secure. Our work includes building and deploying security mechanisms such as secure boot, key management systems, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and authenticated and encrypted communication streams.  We perform threat models and work on secure design for current and future vehicles.  The team audits and assesses code and systems for security threats and remediates problems when identified.

We are especially interested in speaking with candidates that have diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We’re solving novel security problems at Cruise; novel perspectives make this easier!

Our #StaySafe culture transcends and informs all we do, and because of this, as of October 31, 2021 Cruise will be mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for all US-based Cruisers who need or want to access any of our US Cruise facilities and engage in any business travel — including attending any in-person Company-sponsored event. 

If you are unable to get a vaccine due to a medical condition, disability, or a strongly-held religious belief, Cruise will consider requests for an accommodation.
