Full Job Description

Latitude AI (lat.ai) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone. When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people. As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif. Meet the team: The Deploy Platform team at Latitude AI is responsible for getting the right software onto the right vehicles at the right time. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help modernize our deployment infrastructure: replacing legacy bootstrapping systems, building services that integrate with our testing and artifact pipelines, and enabling teams across the company to deploy software reliably to autonomous vehicles. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure engineering and embedded systems. You'll build tools and services in Python, Rust, or Go that interact with ECUs, integrate with test frameworks, and connect to artifact management systems. You should be comfortable with Linux systems, enjoy automating away manual processes, and be curious about how software gets from a developer's machine onto a vehicle. What you’ll do: Modernize deployment infrastructure - Replace legacy Ansible-based bootstrapping workflows with maintainable, testable tooling in Python and systems languages (Rust, C++) Build services for next-gen deployment tooling - Develop backend services that support our deployment systems, integrating with systems such as Artifactory a
