Who We Are 

Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale—empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.

About the Role

On the Autonomy Visualization team, your top priority will be developing high-quality visualization platforms. These platforms will allow any software engineer to add new viz elements. Additionally, you’ll also have the opportunity to work end-to-end on viz features and products, exercising both your technical skills, product sense, and cross-functional communication.

About the Work

As an Autonomy Visualization Software Engineer, you’ll build business-critical tools that accelerate the development of Nuro’s autonomous driving technology.

Build performant visualization frameworks in both C++ / OpenGL and Unity to serve multiple critical functions like autonomy development and validation, triage tools, and in-car visualization. 

Be a partner to Autonomy engineers as they seek to improve their development workflow with better visualization.

Collaborate with ML Labeling teams, as they seek to gather high-quality training data with bespoke labeling tools.

Interface with product managers and designers to build polished visualizations for external applications that represent Nuro well.

About You

You have 3+ years of software development experience in C++, OpenGL and QT

You have a basic understanding of graphics concepts (e.g., rendering pipelines, shaders, coordinate systems).

Prior experience with visualization apps or game engines (OpenGL, Vulkan, Unity, Unreal)

You’re deeply technical: you enjoy working through thorny performance problems in low-level code, and working with advanced language features.

You have strong communication skills, and collaborate effectively with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds.

You bring up those around you through mentorship and feedback. You’re always on the lookout for ways to improve our team’s products, people, and processes.
