Company mission
To build driving intelligence to power a safer and greener world.
Role
Who you are
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- Production fullstack experience spanning backend services and REST APIs, relational data modeling and SQL, and modern frontend development (e.g., React/TypeScript)
- Working proficiency in Python for services, libraries, and tooling
- Ability to work directly with users to turn ambiguous engineering workflows into simple, reliable interfaces
- Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership: a quick learner who is eager to take responsibility and drive projects forward end to end
Desirable
- Experience building interactive or visual web-based tooling, such as canvas, WebGL, Electron, or map- and geometry-based editing
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD for deploying and operating web services
- Experience presenting large datasets, time-series, or log data behind responsive interfaces
- Experience building user behavior tracking and analysis into web products: instrumenting frontend/backend telemetry, and analyzing usage data to guide product iteration
- Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, or simulation and scenario-based testing
- Experience with data visualization at scale
What the job involves
- Design and ship fullstack applications end to end: Python services and REST APIs, relational data modeling, asynchronous jobs, modern TypeScript frontend interfaces, deployment, testing, observability, and production reliability
- Build scenario authoring and management tools, including interactive editors for creating, parameterizing, and versioning test scenarios, and reproducible scenario libraries shared across teams
- Build interfaces for large-scale simulation and drive-log replay: launching and tracking runs, browsing results, comparing regressions across releases, and triaging failures down to individual scenarios
- Build shared application foundations — authentication, access control, multi-tenancy, and API conventions — that serve internal engineers, operations teams, and external partners from one coherent platform
- Ensure that your work is performed in accordance with the company's Quality Management System (QMS) requirements and contribute to continuous improvement efforts
Our take
With self-driving vehicles becoming more common, the tuck shipping industry stands to benefit from autonomous driving technology, particularly given the current shortage of drivers in the US.
PlusAI provides self-driving technology for trucks to make fleets safer, more fuel-efficient, and sustainable. It uses machine learning to analyze routes and scenarios, providing real-time data to trucks equipped with the PlusDrive system. Unlike competitors focusing on urban transportation, PlusAI is tackling long-distance logistics, though regulatory challenges in the US remain a concern.
Currently, Plus offers a system that enhances driver safety and efficiency, while continuing to develop fully autonomous solutions. Following a successful pilot with IVECO, PlusAI is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into other European markets, like Spain, very soon.
