Software Engineer/Senior Software Engineer (Applied Machine Learning & Data Mining)

• We are open to candidates at either the Software Engineer or Senior Software Engineer level. Level will be determined by experience, technical depth, scope of ownership, and demonstrated impact
• Develop and evaluate mining, retrieval, and ranking methods using signals such as model confidence, disagreement, embeddings, anomalies, temporal behavior, and learned representations
• Build and evolve semantic image/video/scenario search, including text-to-image/video and image-to-image or video-to-video retrieval, vector search, metadata and temporal or spatial filters, task-specific ranking, and search quality, freshness, latency, and reliability
• Build and operate distributed mining, inference, and indexing pipelines over fleet-scale imagery, video, time-series, and autonomy-system data, including GPU batch inference, embedding generation, reproducible candidate datasets, and reliable index refreshes
• Design and ship mining products end to end: Python APIs and services, relational data models, asynchronous jobs, modern TypeScript/React search and review experiences, deployment, access control, testing, observability, and production reliability
• Ensure that your work is performed in accordance with the company’s Quality Management System (QMS) requirements and contribute to continuous improvement efforts

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO: Unlimited paid time off on top of company holidays to recharge and enjoy as needed
• Flexible working: Flexibile work arrangements and technology to help manage life’s demands at the office and remote
• Health benefits: Tiered options in medical, dental, and vision insurance to fit your unique needs
• Future building: Equity, 401k and FSA options for all eligible employees to help build for your future
• Professional development: Company-sponsored professional development opportunities such as conferences, training, and workshops
• Catered lunches: Daily catered lunches at both of our Santa Clara and Fremont offices

Preferred experience

• Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership: a quick learner who is eager to take responsibility and drive projects forward end to end
• Foundations for data-centric machine learning: an understanding of model uncertainty and evaluation, embeddings and similarity search, and how training-data composition shapes model behavior
• Hands-on experience developing and evaluating machine-learning, data-mining, computer-vision, or information-retrieval methods with a framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, including experimentation, error analysis, and principled metrics
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with embedding and multimodal models (CLIP-style models, VLMs), vector databases (Milvus, FAISS, pgvector), or GPU batch inference at scale
• Experience improving models through data — training or fine-tuning, active learning and data flywheels, hard-example mining, uncertainty or disagreement signals, dataset curation — ideally in autonomous driving, robotics, or perception
• Production full-stack experience spanning backend services and REST APIs, relational data modeling and SQL, and modern JavaScript or TypeScript frontend development using React or a comparable framework
• You do not need experience with every technology in our stack; we value strong fundamentals, ownership, and the ability to learn
