Tech Lead Manager

Who are we?

Our team is the first in the world to use autonomous vehicles on public roads using end-to-end deep learning. With our multi-national world-class technical team, we’re building things differently. 

We don’t think it’s scalable to tell an algorithm how to drive through hand-coded rules and expensive HD maps. Instead, we believe that machine learning algorithms learning from experience and data will allow our driver to be more intelligent and capable of easily adapting to new environments.

Our aim is to be the future of self-driving cars: the first to deploy in 100 cities across the world bringing autonomy to everyone, everywhere.

The impact you will have

We’re looking for bold, talented and creative people to join our journey in developing next-generation autonomous vehicles. We’re a growing start-up building our first cohort of engineers, and you can be at the heart of this!

We are looking for an experienced Research Engineer to help us in our journey to scale end-to-end neural networks for autonomous driving. You’ll be working across our research team to build, integrate, test and scale algorithms, tools, and machine learning solutions for autonomous driving.

About you

• 7+ years of software engineering experience in an industrial research environment
• Passion to work in a team on research ideas that have real world impact
• Strong software engineering experience in Python and other relevant languages (e.g. C++ and CUDA)
• Ideally with direct experience working in at least one of computer vision, robotics, simulation, graphics, large language models
• Ideally with several years working on machine learning algorithms and systems
• A good grasp of machine learning literature
• Comfortable working with large quantities of image and video data
