About Waymo
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.
The Onboard Map Expansion team develops tech and API towards building driving logic that is robust to map correctness and availability. Waymo is rapidly scaling its driving to new cities and service areas -- each new service area comes with certain nuances that are unique to them (unique map configurations, different road rules, etiquette, etc.). Our team builds the tech and tools to rapidly discover, iterate, and mitigate these behaviors while also scaling the performance of the car in a data-driven way.
This is an opportunity to shape how Waymo solves the scaled-driving problem in new service areas. There are several open questions both technically and from a product point of view, and this role offers a front row seat to how Waymo scales its driving!
