Full Job Description
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. Waymo’s software reliability engineers (SRE) are responsible for the stable operation of Waymo’s fully autonomous systems and supporting infrastructure. As an SRE, you combine software and systems engineering techniques to build and run large-scale, fault-tolerant, reliable systems. You focus on optimizing existing systems, building new infrastructure, eliminating manual, error-prone or time-consuming work through automation, and ensuring products that are fast, efficient, and effective. This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to the Tech Lead Manager. You will: Become a Waymo production expert, and collaborate with other engineers to build reliable systems for autonomous vehicle operations, including depot logistics, automation flow, and critical vehicle state infrastructure Manage end-to-end availability and performance for core fleet services, ensuring we have enough usable vehicle supply available to meet targeted user demand, and developing observability and automation to support this goal Involvement in the whole lifecycle of services - from inception and design, through deployment, operation and refinement Write designs and implement software to improve system architecture, telemetry or deployment for fleet-specific mission-critical services, preventing outa
