Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's 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’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.
Waymo’s Systems Intelligence and ML team works with Research and Production teams to develop and deploy models that are core to our autonomous driving software. Waymo's AI is at the heart of this mission, and we are increasingly leveraging large-scale Foundation Models to unlock new capabilities for the Waymo Driver. Join Waymo to architect and build a unified, large-scale AI platform leveraging Google DeepMind's latest foundation models (like Gemini) for comprehensive world understanding and generation, to accelerate the development and distillation of models powering the world's most experienced driver.
In this hybrid role, you will report to our Director of Engineering who leads Systems Intelligence and Machine Learning.
We are seeking a deeply experienced Principal Software Engineer to provide the overarching technical vision, architectural design, and cross-team leadership to make Waymo’s foundation model systems nextgen a success. This role is pivotal in transforming Waymo's offboard ML landscape from a fragmented set of models and tools into a cohesive, efficient, and powerful platform centered around a unified foundation model recipe, deeply integrated with Google Deepmind's latest innovations with Gemini. You will be the technical authority defining how Waymo builds, trains, and utilizes these large models offboard to ultimately accelerate onboard deployment and improvements.
The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is listed below. Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the role location or, if the role can be performed remote, the specific salary range for your preferred location, during the hiring process.
