Company mission
To build driving intelligence to power a safer and greener world.
Role
Who you are
- Python Proficiency: Strong, hands-on programming experience with Python for backend development and automation
- Backend & Infrastructure Fundamentals: Solid understanding of backend software development principles, data structures, and system architecture
- CI/CD Knowledge: Foundational understanding of Continuous Integration workflows, version control (Git), and automated testing principles
- Analytical Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills with a keen interest in analyzing system metrics, identifying bottlenecks, and working with data infrastructure
Desirable
- JavaScript Experience: Basic knowledge of or hands-on experience with JavaScript (helpful for frontend dashboarding or data visualization tweaks)
- Familiarity with CI Tools: Prior exposure to industry-standard CI/CD platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Buildkite)
- Observability & Monitoring: Experience with or an understanding of performance monitoring, logging, and visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, ELK stack)
- Edge/Hardware Context: An understanding of distributed systems, IoT, or edge computing environments (helpful for understanding performance metrics generated "on trucks")
- Data Handling: Experience working with APIs, processing large datasets, or managing data pipelines
What the job involves
- Ready to get hands-on with real-world, large-scale data challenges?
- We’re seeking a Software Engineer Intern to help build and improve an event mining framework used for uncovering key insights in massive datasets
- In this internship, you will work with our dynamic team to scale our systems, harness the power of the cloud, and leverage Spark to make our data processing pipelines faster and more efficient
- Expect to dive into distributed computing, and cloud technologies while closely collaborating with experienced engineers
- You’ll have the chance to see your work directly impact a high-growth environment, all while learning best practices in modern data engineering
- Design and Implement Monitoring Systems: Build out and maintain continuous automated monitoring pipelines for crucial system performance characteristics, including node start times, system-critical code sections, and end-to-end latency metrics
- CI/CD Integration: Integrate performance tracking into release branch Continuous Integration (CI) environments and build on-demand testing capabilities for GitHub/GitLab Pull Requests
- Automate Alerting: Develop mechanisms to automatically detect, flag, and escalate performance outliers and regressions in real-time
- Data Visualization & Trend Analysis: Create systems or dashboards to track and visualize overall performance trends based on specific variables such as workload and geographic location
- Bridge the Gap: Transition the team from manual, "human-eye" performance checks to a fully automated data pipeline that makes the best use of both production and release candidate CI data
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.
