Senior Software Engineer, Eval Efficiency & Optimization
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.
As a Software Engineer, you will solve ill-defined problems at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and scalable systems engineering. You will develop creative quantitative models to address eval challenges, while providing rigorous mathematical and experimental proof of the correctness and statistical efficiency of your solutions.
You will:
- Tackle ill-defined, ambiguous problems and reduce complex systems into tractable quantitative models.
- Develop statistical techniques that enable our evaluation pipelines to deliver better signals with fewer resources.
- Design and bu
