Requirements
Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, along with 3+ years of experience architecting and shipping high-performance and large-scale distributed systems. They should have experience deploying vision language models (VLMs) or large-scale vision encoders in production settings, and a solid understanding of software engineering principles including software design patterns, configuration management, source control, build processes, code reviews, testing methodologies, app containerization, and continuous integration. Fluency in Python and experience with production-quality software development are also required.
Responsibilities
The Senior Software Engineer will develop data products utilizing foundation models such as multi-modal encoding models, vision language models, and large language models, adapting them to the autonomous driving domain through pre-training, fine-tuning, and prompt optimization. They will own large-scale mining workflows that surface rare objects, model errors, and long-tail events, build high-quality datasets to improve ML products through training and edge case validation, contribute to data processing pipelines that fuel the in-house billion-scale image search engine, and provide statistical depth on model performance and generalization through rigorous error analysis across complex driving scenarios.
