Who We Are 

Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro has spent eight years developing autonomous driving (AD) technology and commercializing AD applications. The Nuro Driver™ is our world-class autonomous driving system that combines AD hardware with our generalized AI-first self-driving software. Built to learn and improve through data, the Nuro Driver™ is one of the few driverless autonomous technologies on public roads today. 

Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Fidelity, Bailie Gifford, T. Rowe Price, Google, and other leading investors. We’ve partnered with some of the world’s most respected brands including Uber, FedEx, Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven.

About the Role

Nuro takes a machine-learning-first approach to autonomous driving technology. In an ML-first system, the overall system performance depends heavily on the quantity and diversity of its training and evaluation data. 

Our team aims to evolve our Evaluation ecosystem to become more comprehensive and easy to use by Autonomy Behavior, Verification, and Validation teams. The team key pillars are to:

1. Accelerate Autonomy Iteration by Strengthen Evaluation Signals
2. Promote Evaluation Consistency across Behavior and Systems

The team plays a crucial role in the advancement of autonomous driving systems by creating a scalable and reliable evaluation platform and visualization tooling. This infrastructure is designed to produce training and evaluation data derived from both on-road collected logs and simulation logs. Additionally, the team collaborates closely with system engineers to thoroughly validate the autonomous driving system before its deployment.

About the Work

• Design and develop unified, introspectable, scalable batch, and streaming data pipelines that can ingest and process data across a wide range of use cases relevant to evaluation.
• Create and implement a storage system capable of accommodating both the large volume and diverse range of evaluation and performance metrics.
• Construct intuitive dashboards and reports to present evaluation results, facilitating straightforward comparisons that highlight both improvements and regressions of the ML components and the overall system.
• Develop and maintain continuous testing and monitoring systems to guarantee the integrity and resilience of our data and associated data pipelines.
• Create visualization tools to aggregate, modify, and introspect evaluation results and metadata

About You

• You have a degree in B.Sc or M.Sc. plus 4 years of relevant work experience
• Strong proficiency in Python, Golang, or similar languages
• Domain experience: Experience working with large scale data and building scalable & reliable systems / data pipelines; ability to understand and design complex systems
