Job Description

Software Quality Ops Scenarios Specialist

Waymo

Role Description The Software Quality Operations (SWQOps) team is at the heart of ensuring the safety, reliability, and quality of the Waymo Driver. Our mission is to build an adaptable and scalable operation, increasingly powered by AI, to deliver the crucial insights necessary to confidently deploy and grow Waymo's autonomous vehicle service. As a Technical Specialist in Scenario Operations, you are the Subject Matter Expert who bridges the gap between our simulation software capabilities and real-world operational execution. In this role you support: - Tooling Development & Optimization: Partner with Product and Engineering teams on design, test, and deployment of cutting-edge simulation tools. Ensure these tools effectively combine human-in-the-loop (HITL) precision with AI-driven automation to create scalable test coverage. - Rapid Issue Response: Drive the technical processes for "rapid-response" simulation-based scenario testing. Apply your deep understanding of the A/V software stack and our tooling to support root-cause evaluation and fix validation when emergent issues are found in the field. - Policy Development: Serve as the key link between AI/ML development and operational execution. Define and document new policies, guidelines, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that integrate advanced tools and insights into daily vendor workflows. - Quality Assurance: Design and implement robust quality control processes for both human and AI-generated outputs. Perform meta-quality checks, validate the integrity of vendor work, and provide feedback to improve both human and model performance. - Technical Consultation: Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for your specific domain. Provide technical leadership to cross-functional stakeholders, advising on the feasibility of new testing coverage and driving tool improvements to achieve desired outcomes. Qualifications - BS/BA degree or 4 years of relevant work experience in AV Software Quality, Simulation or Technical Operations - Experience with ML testing and validation methods, including dataset quality assurance, bias detection, edge-case scenario testing, and/or performance evaluation using statistical metrics - Ability to quickly master proprietary software tools and a proven track record of root-causing high complexity, technical issues - A strong understanding of driving rules, behavioral safety, and the nuances of complex traffic environments Requirements - Hands-on experience with advanced AV simulation test environments - Basic experience with SQL for data extraction and basic results analysis - Experience working with offshore teams/multiple local operations hubs - Track record of using technical expertise to influence product roadmaps or improve internal customer satisfaction Benefits - Eligible to participate in Waymo’s discretionary annual bonus program - Equity incentive plan - Generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements Salary Range The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is $51.45 — $62.99 USD. Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level.

Full TimeRemoteTeam 201-500Since 2019H1B Sponsor

Role Description We need a true Platform Lead who stays deep in infrastructure but also guides a small, growing Platform team. This is a heavily hands-on role (70–80% technical) with people leadership (20–30% — 1:1s, code-review ownership, tech direction, mentoring, team velocity). If you love architecting production-grade cloud infrastructure yourself and helping engineers around you level up, this is for you. You'll own the infrastructure that powers a high-growth fintech with high-throughput production systems, serving hundreds of thousands of users across Southeast Asia and Africa. We're in the middle of a major infrastructure maturity push: - Closing IaC gaps - Hardening CI/CD - Improving observability - Preparing our platform for rapid expansion across multiple markets This isn't a role where you manage dashboards or sit in meetings all day. You'll architect, build, and operate critical cloud infrastructure — while setting the technical direction for the Platform squad and growing the team. Future growth into Head of Platform / Infrastructure is realistic for the right person. Qualifications - 7+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles - Team leadership experience — formally or informally leading a small infrastructure/platform team (mentoring, 1:1s, technical direction) - Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — compute, networking, identity management, queuing, monitoring, storage (we use AWS primarily) - Container orchestration in production — cluster operations, package management, debugging, resource management (we use Kubernetes) - Infrastructure-as-Code at scale — writing, reviewing, and managing IaC with proper state management and modularization (we use Terraform) - CI/CD pipeline design — deployment automation, testing integration, and deployment strategies (blue-green, canary) - Linux systems administration — comfortable debugging at the OS level - Monitoring and observability — setting up alerting, dashboards, log aggregation, and incident response - Security mindset — experience with access control best practices, network security, secrets management - Strong communication — able to explain infrastructure decisions to non-infra engineers, present technical strategies to leadership, and mentor effectively - Reliable internet and hardware, able to work ≥35h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time) Requirements - Multi-cloud experience (GCP, Firebase, or similar alongside AWS) - GitOps deployment experience (e.g. ArgoCD or similar) - Event streaming operations and tuning (e.g. Kafka) - Compliance frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar - Cost optimization — experience reducing cloud spend without sacrificing reliability - Pen testing coordination or security audit experience - Experience at a fintech or financial services company - Experience with multi-region or multi-market infrastructure - Previous experience growing a platform/infrastructure team (hiring, onboarding, defining team processes) Benefits - Real ownership — you'll shape the infrastructure and the team that builds it - Leadership trajectory — clear path from Platform Lead to Head of Platform/Infrastructure as the company scales - Small team, big impact — a growing platform team, no layers of bureaucracy - Growth trajectory — rapidly expanding across Southeast Asia and Africa - Modern stack — container orchestration, IaC, GitOps, event-driven architecture - Fully remote — work from anywhere with good overlap to Asia timezones #EMEA #APJ - Competitive salary + meaningful equity (early-stage package)
