Who you are

• Proven experience leading technical design and delivery of complex software systems across frontend and backend
• Strong fullstack expertise in React and TypeScript, plus backend services and APIs, with confidence making architecture decisions and aligning multiple engineers
• Experience setting technical direction across multi-platform surfaces (web + Android/in-vehicle), and ensuring cohesive integration end-to-end
• Demonstrated ability to build and operate production systems with high reliability expectations, including incident readiness and long-term maintainability
• Strong understanding of performance constraints in rich, interactive web UIs, including rendering, memory, and handling high-frequency / real-time data
• Track record of driving engineering quality through pragmatic practices: testing strategy, observability, monitoring, and clear ownership
• Ability to work with high autonomy in ambiguous problem spaces and make effective trade-offs between speed, reliability, and maintainability
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, able to translate operator and stakeholder needs into technical plans and prioritised delivery
• Experience mentoring engineers through design reviews, pairing, feedback, and setting team standards
• Experience building real-time visualisation products (video + overlays, telemetry dashboards, spatial visualisation) where latency and correctness matter
• Hands-on experience with browser-based 3D rendering (WebGL, Three.js, React Three Fiber), including scene graph design and real-time update loops
• Experience building software for constrained environments, including intermittent connectivity and strict reliability requirements
• Familiarity with in-vehicle or embedded-adjacent constraints, and integrating with hardware or platform-specific systems
• Experience improving usability for real operational users through rapid iteration loops, research, and measurable product impact
• Experience establishing or evolving technical standards across a codebase: architecture patterns, libraries, tooling, and release processes
• We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply
