Jobbeschreibung

Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

• First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
• We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
• We’ve completed 10’s of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
• ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe

Why this role is exciting

As a Senior Software Engineer, Connectivity at Vay, you’ll help build and optimize the networking backbone that makes remote driving possible. Our Connectivity team owns the low-latency real-time video streaming and data transport systems that connect our vehicles with our telestations across cellular and satellite networks. This is a hands‑on engineering role where performance, reliability, and safety matter every day, and where your work will directly shape the quality of the remote driving experience.

You’ll work on a latency-sensitive distributed system, test your solutions on state-of-the-art hardware, and use real production data to investigate incidents, improve performance, and keep pushing our network stack forward.

What you’ll be driving

• Develop, optimize, and maintain high-performance network stack used to transport data (video, audio, control, telemetry) between the vehicle and the telestation with a strong emphasis on clarity, maintainability, and efficiency.
• Integrate the Vay network stack into various target hardware and software platforms.
• Extend and maintain network testbeds and CI infrastructure.
• Profile and optimize the performance of the system.
• Triage incidents from the production system and create fixes/improvements.

What are we looking for

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17 or later), with a focus on high-performance, multi-threaded applications.
• Experience working in Linux-based environments.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals and protocols (TCP, UDP).
