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 core business scale is bottlenecked by improving long tail behaviors. The growth in vehicles, platforms, geos (e.g. international), and ODD (e.g. weather) creates a huge set of new problems that we have to solve quickly. The methodical process of building driving sets and high quality metrics cannot scale to Waymo's upcoming needs. We are looking for a senior IC to redefine the way we hillclimb and build eval to scale the Waymo driver.
