Sr. Software Engineer, Engineering Productivity

Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro has spent eight years developing autonomous driving (AD) technology and commercializing AD applications. The Nuro Driver™ is our world-class autonomous driving system that combines AD hardware with our generalized AI-first self-driving software. Built to learn and improve through data, the Nuro Driver™ is one of the few driverless autonomous technologies on public roads today.

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Fidelity, Bailie Gifford, T. Rowe Price, Google, and other leading investors. We’ve partnered with some of the world’s most respected brands including Uber, FedEx, Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven.

About the Team

We are a team of passionate engineers who are committed to making a difference in the world. We are excited to work on challenging problems and to make a positive impact on the future of transportation.

We will achieve this by:

• Identifying and addressing pain points in the engineering process.
• Creating new tools and infrastructure to improve efficiency.
• Educating engineers on best practices.
• Leveraging cutting-edge technologies to boost productivity.

About the Work

• Collaborate with engineers across Nuro to identify pain points in the engineering process. Define, instrument, analyze, communicate, and monitor batch/stream metrics related to engineering velocity and system health.
• Creatively address day to day developer inefficiencies using the best methods available . This can mean making new internal tools, extending existing tools, or introducing new tools to the company.
• Build scalable infrastructure that continuously merges, builds, tests, and releases code while balancing coverage, speed, and cost. This is a challenging problem with no out of the box solution, especially due to the complexities of Nuro’s machine learning and hardware tests. Solving this requires employing state of the art techniques in areas like build optimization, intelligent test selection, and culprit finding.
• Own and improve fundamental libraries e.g. APIs/clients to interact with complex systems. This includes managing code dependencies (including third party libraries) and managing the structure of Nuro’s codebase.
• Educate developers on best practices and new tools.
• Leverage Generative AI to boost engineering productivity.

About You

• Inefficiency bothers you. The thought of taking a frustrating process and making it elegant sounds appealing. 
• You can flexibly build new tools end to end to address constantly changing developer needs.
• You are passionate about software engineering best practices.
• You know how to build scalable and reliable infrastructure pipelines.
• You are highly collaborative and care about creating the best possible user experience.
• You have strong software engineering skills in Python, C++ and/or Go.
