Cruise engineers
Cruise software engineers develop the field of self-driving technology. Our teams work on solutions to problems that have never been solved before.
Write pioneering code
For those of you writing the code that runs on the vehicle itself, you'll be challenged to develop state-of-the-art algorithms or write highly optimized code that can run at low latencies so our vehicles can react faster than humans.
Build bespoke tools
For those of you who are interested in infrastructure and developer tools, we support many petabytes of storage and build tools to accelerate the autonomous vehicle development process.
Our work
Let's help find your fit
Embedded Systems
The Embedded Systems team is the group that writes the first layer of software on the device. We are essentially the central nervous system of the AV stack, which mediates bet…
Infrastructure
The Infrastructure team builds and operates the mission-critical, cloud-native infrastructure underpinning Cruise's autonomous vehicles and the engineering teams behind them.…
Ground Truth
Ground Truth generates rich, semantic datasets from the raw test drives on our vehicle. This knowledge is used to create machine learning algorithms on our autonomous vehicles…
Frameworks
The Frameworks team builds performance-critical frameworks, reusable libraries, and components in modern C++ that are foundational to the entire engineering organization at Cr…
Localization & Mapping
Mapping provides navigational knowledge and detailed urban maps to allow our self-driving vehicles to reason and maneuver safely while driving autonomously. We build complex w…
Perception & Computer Vision
Perception is the overarching team that takes raw sensor input and uses it to determine what is happening around the vehicle. We deal with a variety of sensors, including LiDA…
Planning & Controls
The Planning & Controls team handles decision-making in urban environments, including collision avoidance, intelligent routing, unprotected turns, four-way-stops, lane changes…
Remote Assistance
The Remote Assistance team is like Mission Control for a space launch. We build the tools that allow remote operators to help Cruise self-driving vehicles when they need assis…
Simulation
The Simulation team is responsible for building the tools we need to test and validate the performance and behavior of our autonomous vehicles. This includes tools that valida…
Our experience
Together, we’re solving one hard problem
Our team is composed of engineers with a wide range of skills and experiences. Over 50% of our Engineering department has a Master’s or PhD.
