Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver-The World's Most Experienced Driver™-to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.\nThe Waymo Mapping team's goal is to build a high resolution map of the world to support safe autonomous driving. We work on creating the map using a combination of automatic and manual techniques and build the infrastructure to store, process, and distribute the map. Our team collaborates with several other Waymo teams that consume map data.\nAs a member of the tooling team, you work on the internal labeling tools, infrastructure, and metrics that support our operation. You work closely with stakeholders across product, UX, mapping operations, and engineering.\nYou will:\nHelp build and evolve mission-critical labeling tools and systems powering mapping at Waymo.\nCollaborate with Mapping Operations, UX, and other engineering teams to deliver excellent tools for internal use.\nWork with ML teams to integrate machine learning models into our workflow to drastically improve scalability.\nBuild backend infrastructure for storing and processing many forms of map data\nLeverage Google's ecosystem to build, deploy, and scale backend services that process vast amounts of mapping data.\nScale systems to map the world's cities, enabling Waymo's rapid expansion into new and complex urban environments.\nYou have:\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.\n3 years of relevant industry experience\nExperience with C++ and large-scale data processing.\nWillingness to own problems end-to-end, from diving into a new and complex domain to working on various parts of the system\nA passion for good software engineering\nWe prefer:\nHands-on experience working with geographical data.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2287,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous Driving","Smart Mobility","Ride Hailing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T17:58:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.361,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":308,"expected_fill_days":79,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/waymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/waymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T04:25:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6918,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":98},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=98"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwaymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwaymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwaymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/waymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwaymo-backend-engineer-mapping-tools"}]}
