Responsibilities

You will take on technical leadership for part of Waymo One's backend systems. The exact team will depend on your interests and qualifications, but we have teams working on systems such as vehicle scheduling, dynamic pricing, partner APIs, and experimentation.

You will build a solid long-term technical foundation while also fielding the near-term needs of Waymo One. Our service is still early, and we need an adaptable leader who can reprioritize on the fly.

This is primarily a technical role and does not require people management, though we could consider that if the candidate is interested.
