Senior Software Engineer, Engineering Productivity

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 Team

The team's mission is to empower engineers to build the future of transportation by providing them with the tools and infrastructure they need to be productive and successful.

• 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 Role

• 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.
• Leverage Generative AI to boost engineering productivity.
• Educate developers on best practices and new tools.

About You

• Inefficiency bothers you. The thought of taking a frustrating process and making it elegant sounds appealing.
• You have strong software engineering skills in C++, Python, or Golang.
• 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.
• Strong candidates have expertise in build frameworks such as Bazel, CMake, and Buildbarn. Familiar with popular cloud platforms such as GCP or AWS, and Kubernetes cluster in depth.
• 3+ years of experience and a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in computer science, software engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
