Senior Software Engineer - Maps & Localization - AV Labs

About the role

Uber is launching AV Labs to accelerate the autonomous technology ecosystem. We're building out a high-velocity team of multi-disciplinary experts to turn real-world operations into high-quality data for our autonomous partners. This team will focus on the hardest problem in AV today: unlocking real-world, long-tail driving data. Autonomy is now a data race—and Uber has an edge: we collect rare, real-world driving data at a scale and capital efficiency no one else can match (millions of Uber trips every hour across cities, conditions, and edge cases create the data autonomy has been missing). We will build platforms that harness scale and real-world complexity to reimagine how the world moves.

You will be a software engineer in AV Labs, involved in the development and implementation of the latest technology for self-driving stacks. The ideal candidate will identify issues, provide solutions, implement fixes, and set a high technical excellence bar in all things we do.
