Who We Are

Nuro’s mission is to accelerate the benefits of robotics for everyday life. We are an elite team of entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, and scientists. We believe AI and robotics are at the cusp of transforming daily life and we are dedicated to building meaningful products with this technology. Join us and play a critical role in our mission.

About the Role

The Product Engineering Team builds products to unlock self-driving car deliveries. As one of the backend software engineers focused on our consumer-facing products, you will play a substantial role in both architecting and building our core systems and services. This position demands great breadth in engineering expertise, ambitious innovation, and determined execution. 

About the Work

  • Define and develop our backend architecture and tech stack for a robotic product area.
  • Work with product, design, and business to build new, magical user experiences.
  • Help define our product strategy and roadmap.

About You

  • Technical knowledge. You have extensive experience in programming languages like Go, C/C++, Node, Java, Python and/or other applicable backend languages.
  • You have a wide-range of technical skills and you love learning new technologies. You have a diverse technical skill set that you can call upon and you’re a quick learner.
  • You have the knack for making the right tradeoffs. You know when it makes sense to take the quick-and-dirty vs the scalable approach. You can move fluently between the two.
  • You care about users. You like to work closely with end users and iterate on the product with them. 
  • You are a great communicator, and you regularly chat with users, other engineers, and cross-functional stakeholder on product requirements and designs.
  • You like being involved in the “why” in addition to the “how.” You are eager to understand and contribute to product and business requirements. You can speak to the impact your past work has on the customer and business. And you can look at a list of potential projects and identify which ones might have a significant impact (and which ones won’t).
  • You are impact-driven. You care deeply that your work makes a significant impact on the lives of millions of people.

Bonus Points

  • Full-stack development experience, including backend API design and application development.
  • You have experience (and lots of opinions about) constructing software systems from scratch. You have excellent knowledge of the principles of scalability, reliability, durability
  • You’ve experienced product development at all stages -- from writing requirements to scoping to launch to iteration. You are especially comfortable in the earlier stages of product development -- in getting from zero to one.
