Product Manager, Mapping (Real-time Disruptions)

About the role

The Product Management Team at Waymo is seeking a Product Manager to join our team. This role will focus on making Waymo's AV maps as useful as possible by creating software, processes, and metrics for our fleet to navigate and respond to dynamic real-world disruptions.

Responsibilities

• Create software, processes, and metrics for the Waymo Fleet to navigate and respond to dynamic real-world disruptions such as road closures, construction, weather risks, and special events.
• Develop automated pipelines and operational tooling to scaleably ingest and arbitrate vehicle observations and third-party data (including contributions from local authorities and data aggregators).
• Manage tradeoffs between the credibility of data provenance and the freshness of newer, less validated data.
• Partner with teams to understand the impact—positive and negative—of map changes, ensuring reliable management of disruptions while maintaining high service quality and rider satisfaction.
• Manage a geospatial database of information that improves the Waymo Driver's understanding of the world around it.
• Work with scaled organizations to develop the processes, metrics, and training necessary to execute your product vision.

Requirements

• Deep technical acumen of complex, multi-model systems that all need to work together towards common goals.
• Track record of excellent stakeholder management to bring disparate parts of an organization together to a common consensus.
• Infrastructure sense, even without actual experience working on critical infrastructure.
• Absolutely amazing attention to detail. This isn't just a "table stakes" skillset that candidates should gloss over—the issues this Product Manager will work with require deep thinking and consideration of complex physical spaces.
• Experience with geospatial datasets, including integrating third-party traffic & weather data or handling real-time routing optimization.
• Experience with databases that retain the concept of data provenance and use it in downstream logic.

Qualifications

• ML experience; particularly understanding the management of model precision/recall gaps and developing processes to improve on them.
• AV experience is nice but not required.

Skills

• Excellent stakeholder management skills.
• Understanding of complex physical spaces.
• Experience with geospatial datasets.
• Experience with databases that retain data provenance.

Benefits

Waymo offers a comprehensive benefits package including a discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and generous Company benefits program. Salary range for this full-time position is $204,000—$252,000 USD.
