Qualifications

• Master’s degree in computer science, robotics, applied mathematics, engineering, or a related field.
• Software Engineer with at least 3-4 years of professional experience.
• Strong software engineering skills, particularly Python.
• C++ experience for performance‑critical solver and geometry code is a plus.
• 3-4 years of hands‑on experience with optimization‑based estimation.
• Demonstrated experience processing large-scale vehicle trace or trajectory data.
• SLAM and mapping knowledge.
• Working knowledge of modern ML applied to geometric or graph problems.
• Experience with cloud computing platforms such as Azure and Databricks.
• Proficient in deploying applications using Docker containers.
• Ability to think end‑to‑end and deliver high‑quality solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable algorithms for processing large-scale vehicle traces.
• Build and optimize the lane graph itself.
• Combine deterministic and learned methods deliberately.
• Architect high-performance implementations of these algorithms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate trace‑processing and lane‑graph models.
• Stay current with the state of the art in trace‑based mapping.
• Deploy solutions using Docker containers on cloud platforms.
