Responsibilities
:

• Execute full software development lifecycle activities using Python and C++ in a Linux environment, following Lean‑Agile methodologies.

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable cloud systems using AWS managed services with a focus on scalability, reliability, observability, and operational excellence.

• Develop and provision cloud infrastructure using infrastructure‑as‑code frameworks such as Terraform.

• Perform software design, architecture documentation, algorithm development, and implementation, producing clear, maintainable, and well‑tested code.

• Ensure high‑quality software delivery by following established quality, build, deployment, and testing processes, including safety and engineering guidelines.

• Support vehicle testing, simulation workflows, and deployed‑software maintenance across Autonomous and Perception engineering use cases.

• Investigate and perform root cause analysis for issues found during simulation runs, testing workflows, and automation pipelines.

• Contribute to process automation, including CI/CD, simulation execution workflows, data handling pipelines, and containerization improvements.

• Maintain a strong commitment to automated testing, using simulation scenarios and test frameworks to ensure updates do not regress performance.

• Participate in team standups, providing updates on daily assignments and supporting effective iteration planning.

• Take ownership and drive end‑to‑end efforts independently, demonstrating initiative and accountability.

• Participate in an on‑call rotation (typically one week per team member) to support production systems and ensure operational readiness.
