Backend Software Engineer

Waymo, an autonomous driving technology company at the forefront of self-driving innovation, is seeking a Backend Software Engineer to join their Commercialization team in Warsaw, Poland. As a company that has provided over one million rider-only trips and autonomously driven tens of millions of miles across 13+ U.S. states, Waymo is revolutionizing transportation safety and accessibility.

In this hybrid role, you'll be instrumental in building the next generation of infrastructure for driverless cars. The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on mission-critical commercialization tools and systems that improve Waymo's core ride-hailing and fleet management capabilities. You'll be tackling complex challenges such as demand planning, pickup/dropoff optimization, and fleet optimization, requiring cross-team collaboration with mobile app developers, cloud backend teams, and the Waymo Driver team.

The ideal candidate should have at least 5 years of backend or infrastructure experience and a BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience. Experience with C++ is preferred, along with a background in operations tooling and developer productivity. You'll be working in a diverse environment that includes both technical and non-technical team members, making strong communication and collaboration skills essential.

Waymo offers an exceptional benefits package including comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision), mental wellness support, gym membership, and financial benefits such as competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, and equity. The company promotes work-life balance through flexible work arrangements, including the ability to work from another location for four weeks per year, and provides generous paid time off, including parental leave.

This is an opportunity to join a pioneering company that's not just developing technology, but actively shaping the future of transportation. You'll be part of a team that's already achieved significant milestones in autonomous driving and continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in mobility solutions.
