Senior Staff Software Engineer, ML Data Infrastructure

Who We Are

Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale—empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.

About the Role

Nuro takes a machine-learning-first approach to autonomous driving technology. In an ML-first system, the overall system performance depends heavily on the quantity and diversity of its training and evaluation data.

The team plays a crucial role in the advancement of autonomous driving systems by creating a scalable and reliable data infrastructure. This infrastructure is designed to produce training and evaluation data derived from both on-road collected logs and simulation logs. Additionally, the team collaborates closely with system engineers to thoroughly validate the autonomous driving system before its deployment.

About the Work

• Design and develop unified, introspectable, large-scale batch and streaming data pipelines that can ingest and process data across a wide range of use cases relevant to evaluation.
• Create and implement a storage system capable of accommodating both the large volume and diverse range of evaluation and performance metrics.
• Construct intuitive dashboards and reports to present evaluation results, facilitating straightforward comparisons that highlight both improvements and regressions of the ML components and the overall system.
• Develop and maintain continuous testing and monitoring systems to guarantee the integrity and resilience of our data and associated data pipelines.
• Develop data mining tools with applied ML techniques to support data discovery needs from Autonomy including Perception, Behavior, and Mapping
• Develop data annotation tools to support first-party and third-party labeling workforce to provide high fidelity perception, mapping, and driving trajectory labels
• Scale data annotation labels with applied State-of-the-art ML techniques
