Full Job Description

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 Software Operations team is at the heart of how Nuro's autonomy software gets built right. We own QC, tool testing, and bug reproduction across labeling workflows, and we care deeply about the craft of doing that work well. You'll sit inside the team, learn the work firsthand, and help build the systems that make quality achievable at scale. You'll report directly to the Head of Software Operations with real access, real context, and a genuine mandate to make things better. About the Role This is a 12 month embedded role for someone who loves finding what's broken and fixing it for good. Process improvement should be in your DNA — not a skill you've practiced, but the way you naturally see the world. You'll spend real time inside the in-house team's workflow, then turn what you learn into sharper procedures, cleaner rubrics, and a taxonomy that actually fits the work. You'll also keep our offshore QC vendor team calibrated to the same standards, so the quality holds up wherever the work happens. This role is a great fit if you get energized by noticing what's not working and making a clear case for how to fix it. If you love documentation that's genuinely usable rather than just technically correct, want your work tied directly to a product that matters, and thrive with autonomy and a direct line to leadership, this is the role for you.
