Software Engineer, Simulation, Limited Duration (Fullstack)

The Simulation team at Waymo builds technology that supports the development of the Waymo Driver. Our tools help simulate complex real-world scenarios, promoting safer and smarter decision-making. If you're a full stack software engineer passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving, we'd love to hear from you. This is a limited-duration, at-will role on the Simulation team, expected to last approximately 2 years.

In this hybrid role, you will report to a Simulation Engineering Manager.

• Be a core contributor to our simulation-focused stack, building both intuitive user interfaces and robust backend systems that support high-fidelity virtual testing, scalable scenario generation, learned agent simulation, sensor and environment modeling, and integrated evaluation pipelines-promoting robust development and validation of the Waymo Driver.
• Work across the entire software development lifecycle, from designing front-end experiences to implementing scalable backend services and APIs.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and other engineers to translate user needs into functional, end-to-end features.

• 2 - 5 years of experience on full stack software development, with proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., Angular) for frontend development and Python or C++ for backend development.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience in product-focused software development, contributing to tools and infrastructure that support large-scale simulation and testing.
• Interest in solving both front-end usability and backend performance challenges in simulation systems, such as optimizing user workflows, building scalable distributed architectures, or working close to hardware and runtime environments.
