## Description

We are seeking passionate Senior/Staff Software Engineers who have strong fundamentals in software development practices and are experts in C++ in a production-oriented environment. The ideal candidate is a highly experienced C++ developer with a passion for building scalable, high-performance software platforms that enable perception and autonomy capabilities for the world's first safe, reliable, and efficient network of autonomous vehicles.

You will partner with research and software engineers to productionize, integrate, optimize, test, and validate perception and autonomy features for our autonomous fleet.

This role will be onsite at our Santa Clara, CA office.

What you'll do

 * Design, implement, integrate, and support real-time, mission-critical software for Gatik's autonomy stack
 * Build and evolve platform capabilities that enable perception and autonomy algorithms to run reliably and efficiently in production
 * Work with research engineers to translate algorithms and prototypes into maintainable, testable, production-quality software
 * Architect and implement solutions to complex integration challenges across sensors, perception components, compute platforms, and the broader autonomy stack
 * Optimize real-time software pipelines for latency, compute, memory usage, and system performance
 * Guide and mentor autonomy researchers and algorithm developers to ensure their components run efficiently with optimal compute and memory usage
 * Develop tools and frameworks for validation, benchmarking, debugging, and performance analysis of autonomy software
 * Collaborate with Infrastructure and DevOps teams for efficient, secure, and scalable software delivery to Gatik's autonomous fleet
 * Conduct code and design reviews and help drive strong software architecture and SDLC practices
