Job Description

Who We Are 

Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.

Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.

With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected. Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.

About the Team

A rider taps "request ride" and within seconds, an autonomous vehicle is matched, dispatched, and on its way. The On-Road Experience team owns the systems that make that moment happen. The On-road Experience team builds the real-time distributed system behind Nuro's ride-hailing product. This is foundational infrastructure where correctness and performance have consequences on a real road.

About the Role

This is the perfect role if you love architecting performant, reliable distributed systems, processing real-time vehicle data, and building the foundational APIs that enable seamless product experiences. The position demands technical excellence, a deep understanding of system design, and a knack for solving tough problems. Come join us in defining the future!

What you'll own

  • Backend services for ride planning, vehicle matching, and real-time trip execution
  • Partner API integrations (Uber and others) routing ride requests to Nuro vehicles
  • Telemetry pipelines surfacing live vehicle state to riders and operations

About You

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience with strong Go proficiency
  • Experience designing and operating distributed systems where reliability isn't optional
  • End-to-end product ownership — from requirements through launch and iteration
  • Solid hands-on experience with GCP (CloudSQL, BigQuery, Redis, or equivalent)
  • A track record of technical leadership: setting the bar, mentoring others, making hard trade-offs

Great to have: dispatch, fleet, location, or delivery/ride platform experience. Even better if you've built systems where the physical world is the end user. 

Bonus Points

  • Domain Expertise: Experience with backend services related to vehicles, location, dispatch, inventory, or order/ride/delivery.
  • Product and Business Acumen: A keen interest in the "why" in addition to the "how." You are eager to understand and contribute to product and business requirements, capable of identifying high-impact projects from a list of potential initiatives.

At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $160,360 and $240,540 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
