Nuro
Who We Are
Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro has spent eight years developing autonomous driving (AD) technology and commercializing AD applications. The Nuro Driver is our world-class autonomous driving system that combines AD hardware with our generalized AI-first self-driving software. Built to learn and improve through data, the Nuro Driver is one of the few driverless autonomous technologies on public roads today.
Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Fidelity, Bailie Gifford, T. Rowe Price, Google, and other leading investors. Weve partnered with some of the worlds most respected brands including Uber, FedEx, Dominos, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven.
About the Role
We are looking for talented engineers to join our Performance team to optimize the performance of Nuros AV software, ensuring our vehicles can react quickly and safely to the world around them. The team builds systems and tools for continuous performance analysis, and drives latency reduction and resource efficiency efforts, to ensure the autonomy teams can implement an autonomy stack that is efficient and performant for current and future generation of the Nuro Driver.
