Software Reliability Engineer

Who We Are Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.About the TeamThe Robotics Reliability Engineering (RRE) team at Nuro focuses on fleet reliability as our AV capabilities and operating footprint grow. We work across software, hardware, infrastructure, and operations to understand fleet behavior and improve operational readiness. When high-severity events impact missions or fleet-wide performance, RRE coordinates investigations and ensures that lessons learned result in durable platform improvements.About the RoleAs a Software Reliability Engineer at Nuro, you will help design, build, and operate systems that support our autonomous vehicle platform and fleet operations.You will work across the full development lifecycle, from early design and deployment through operations and continuous improvement. You’ll join an on-call rotation to stay close to real-world operations. At its core, the role is building resilient systems through automation, observability, and operational feedback.This is an opportunity to influence how reliability is engineered into Nuro’s platform as it scales up and out across new cities.About the WorkBuild fleet-scale pipelines that turn noisy onboard signals into actionable, high-confidence investigations.Develop automated triage and correlation systems that deduplicate issues, route them to the right owning teams, and attach up-to-date priority signals and diagnostic context.Partner with engineering teams and subject matter experts to turn investigation outcomes into better instrumentation, automation, and signal quality over time.Build internal tools and workflows that reduce duplicate effort and increase situational awareness as the fleet scales (self-service debugging, standardized metrics, shared templates, securely scoped access).Lead reliability investigations to identify contributing factors and ensure learnings turn into durable engineering changes.About YouExperience writing and shipping software that runs in production, with an ownership mindset and attention to how it behaves in real-world conditions.Ability to build and maintain tools and automation that enable other engineers: internal tools, instrumentation, and visualizations. (Python, Go, Bash, C++)Strong debugging fundamentals across the stack, including using system signals and live troubleshooting to form hypotheses and identify contributing factors.Strong interest in reliability engineering as a growth path: you’re motivated by making complex systems understandable, resilient, and easier to run as they scale.Bonus PointsBackground in distributed systems or real-world deployed systems (vehicles, robotics, IoT, or similar).Familiarity with production telemetry and observability.Experience applying reliability metrics and operational feedback loops to drive improvements.Exposure to cross-team reliability work in mission-critical environments.At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.
