Woven Planet is a software-first subsidiary of Toyota whose vision is to create safe mobility of people, goods, and information that everyone can enjoy and trust. Level 5, part of Woven Planet, is developing self-driving technology using a state-of-the-art machine-learned approach. Our goal is to deliver advanced and self-driving capabilities to personally-owned and mobility-as-a-service vehicles to improve transportation on a global scale. 

As part of Woven Planet, Level 5 has the backing of one of the world’s largest automakers and the opportunity for near-term product impact and revenue — a combination rarely seen in the AV industry.

Level 5 is looking for doers and creative problem solvers to join us in improving mobility for everyone with self-driving technology. We’ve built a diverse and talented group of software and hardware engineers, each with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our self-driving stack.

Our product development team of more than 300 members works in brand new garages and labs in Palo Alto, tests AVs at our dedicated test track in the Silicon Valley, and is supported by a growing research program in London. With support from more than 800 Woven Planet colleagues in Tokyo, Level 5’s work to improve the future of mobility spans the globe. And we’re moving fast — in just four years we’ve gone from inception to building our fourth generation vehicle platform, served thousands of employee pilot rides, expanded offices globally, and deployed a fully machine-learned motion planner in San Francisco.

We care deeply about delivering the best transportation experience; this means the best experience for the passenger and the best experience for the driver. We believe this quality of service can only be achieved with a deep understanding of our world, our cities, our streets… how they evolve, how they breathe. We embrace the powerful positive impact autonomous transportation will bring to our everyday lives and with our ambition, we will become a leader in the development and operation of such vehicles. 

Thanks to our network, with hundreds of millions of rides every year, we have the means to make autonomy a safe reality. As a member of Woven-Planet, you will have the opportunity to develop and deploy tomorrow’s hardware & software solutions and thereby revolutionize transportation.

As a software engineer on the Observability team, you will be responsible for building and operating the foundational pieces of our cloud. You will tackle reliability and scalability challenges in Logging, Metrics, and Alerting systems. You will help us provide best-in-class experience for our customers in the cloud and in our data centers. If you are excited about joining a team of talented engineers working on cutting-edge problems, join us! Some of the challenges the team deals with are:

• Design and implement data pipelines that transport billions of operational metrics from applications and infrastructure into time series databases like Wavefront, M3.
• Build high performance client libraries for structured and multiline logging clients in a variety of languages. (Java, Python, Go, C++)
• Design and implement a highly available and scalable metrics aggregation pipeline.
• Contribute to application use-cases such as Cloud Cost Attribution for CPU-, GPU-, memory-intensive workloads on Kubernetes
• Contribute to open source projects such as FluentBit, Telegraf, Veneur
• Work closely with cloud and observability third party vendors

If you are a creative thinker and an innovator with a strong desire to apply your technical skills to developments which can improve the quality of human life, this is the internship for you.

Responsibilities:

• Create resilient and scalable distributed systems that enable rapid iteration across all of Level 5
• Own large projects from an idea to execution, to adoption.
• Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, maintainable code
• Ensure operational excellence of our cloud footprint by providing observability into system health and execution & by building tools and dashboards to monitor and improve efficiency
• Provide an amazing developer experience while balancing organizational needs, timelines and costs
• Be a force multiplier by sharing knowledge and advocating for best practices across the entire Autonomous organization

Experience:

• Programming experience in one or more of Java, Python, Go, and C++ (Rust, C is a plus)
• Experience with containerization (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform) and observability (e.g. Stackdriver, Wavefront, Grafana) stacks.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with proven ability to uplift others and work effectively with a diverse group of talented engineers.
