Senior Software Engineer, Perception Data Primary

Overview

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.

Within Perception, the Data Primary team builds and operates the data infrastructure that powers Waymo's perception foundation models. We design scalable pipelines that process petabytes of sensor data and allow everything from rare event mining to large-scale offline model deployment. Our work directly supports model training, evaluation, and production, ensuring that perception models have the high-quality, diverse data they need to perform safely. We collaborate across ML, Simulation, and Infrastructure teams to integrate data into the model lifecycle and help bring new capabilities to the Waymo Driver.

In this hybrid role, you will report to an engineering manager.
