Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the 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 One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.

The ML Platform team at Waymo provides a set of tools to support and automate the lifecycle of the machine learning workflow, including feature and experiment management, model development, debugging, inference, deployment, and monitoring. These efforts have resulted in making machine learning more accessible to teams at Waymo, including Perception, Behavior Prediction, Planner, Routing, Maps and Research, ensuring greater degrees of consistency and repeatability, and addressing the "last mile" of getting models into production and managing them once they are in place. We work with machine learning experts in all parts of the company and our collaborators across Alphabet.

You will focus on developing large-scale and efficient inference solutions for Waymo. This is crucial to the development of Waymo Foundation Models for driving including model evaluation, auto-labeling and distillation.

At a minimum, we'd like you to have:

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Math, or equivalent real-world experience
  • 5+ years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages (C++ or Python preferred), and with data structures/algorithms.
  • 3 years of experience developing large-scale infrastructure or distributed systems.
  • 3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture.
  • Understanding of machine learning fundamentals and experience with popular ML frameworks such as JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow
  • Experience building scalable inference platforms for real-time and batch processing
  • ML accelerator profiling, model inference for LLMs, and designing production-grade systems

It's preferred if you have:

  • MS in Computer Science, Math, or equivalent real-world experience
  • Experience with multi-threaded and stream-based programming models
  • Prior experience scaling model inference to multiple accelerators
  • Prior experience high-scale distributed or ML inference systems
  • Previous experience deploying machine learning models for computer vision, natural language processing, or recommendation systems
