Senior Frontend Software Engineer, Simulation

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 Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

The Triage Workflow Tooling and Automation team develops the tooling and infrastructure to support human evaluated and automated triage operations for a variety of stakeholders and workstreams across Waymo. The data produced by these workstreams is used to evaluate and improve the performance of the Waymo driver.
