[Hiring] Senior / Staff Software Engineer, Mapping @Waabi

2d ago - Waabi is hiring a remote Senior / Staff Software Engineer, Mapping. πŸ’Έ Salary: $141,000 - $242,000 usd πŸ“Location: USA

Role Description

The Mapping team at Waabi develops the foundational spatial intelligence of our autonomous fleet. As a Senior or Staff Software Engineer on our Mapping team, you will act as a versatile, foundational builder for our highly scalable, AI-driven mapping infrastructure. We are looking for a strong software generalist who thrives on variety, can easily pivot across different projects, and tackles complex distributed systems problems from data ingestion to real-time serving.

You will collaborate and exchange ideas with our team, which includes world-renowned engineers and scientists specializing in robotics, deep learning, computer vision, and autonomous driving. We value original, high-impact ideas and rigorous experimental validation.

  • Act as a versatile engineering powerhouse, quickly ramping up on new domains and fluidly transitioning between backend pipelines, API design, and vehicle-side serving.
  • Be part of a multidisciplinary team of Engineers and Research Scientists using AI-first approach to create high-definition (HD) maps at scale.
  • Architect and build the engineering foundations of our long-term mapping infrastructure.
  • Build robust, scalable pipelines to automatically create, validate, maintain, and visualize massive amounts of data.
  • Design and develop comprehensive metrics, observability, and anomaly detection across various systems.
  • Partner directly with downstream customers (e.g. Perception, Motion Planning, Simulation) to capture complex requirements and implement intuitive APIs.
  • Engineer real-time, high-availability, and low-latency systems for fleet of self-driving vehicles.

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, with a minimum of 5 years of industry experience.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals with an aptitude and willingness to quickly learn domain-specific concepts like 3D geometry and spatial data structures.
  • Proven ability to work across various programming languages, seamlessly bridging high-level Python development with robust systems-level engineering in C++ or Rust.
  • Solid experience in designing, developing, and deploying production-quality, fault-tolerant software at scale (moving well beyond prototypes/proofs of concept).
  • Hands-on experience building distributed systems on modern cloud platforms.

Requirements

  • A true generalist mindset: you enjoy wearing multiple hats, diving into unfamiliar codebases, and picking up new technologies as the mission dictates.
  • Prior experience with autonomous vehicles, HD mapping, or robotics.
  • Familiarity with 3D geometry, geospatial systems, spatial databases, and tooling such as QGIS, GDAL, or PostGIS.
  • Familiarity with Machine Learning pipelines or integrating AI models into production engineering systems.
  • Experience with large-scale data processing systems and orchestration frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, Airflow, Ray, Kafka).
  • Open-minded and collaborative team player with strong willingness to help others.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and equity awards.
  • Health and Wellness benefits encompassing Medical, Dental and Vision coverage (for full-time employees only).
  • Unlimited Vacation.
  • Flexible hours and Work from Home support.
  • Daily drinks, snacks and catered meals (when in office).
  • Regularly scheduled team building activities and social events both on-site, off-site & virtually.
  • As we grow, this list continues to evolve!
