What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer (Platform & Infrastructure) position at EIKON-X?
Skills we expect from you
● Strong experience in modern C .
● Experience in writing high-performance code.
● Problem-solving skills are important. You are expected to understand a problem clearly,
weigh trade-offs of different solutions given their implications, and after the
implementation be sure the goal has been achieved.
● You have designed complex systems.
Cient/employer:
This role is with a high-growth robotics company focused on autonomous driving and delivery. This client has strong private equity backing & is growing quickly. This employer is an officially labeled unicorn & has strong publicly announced partnerships.
About the role
We are looking for an experienced software engineer who is passionate about building a robust
and reliable platform for autonomous vehicles and robots. The foundation of our self-driving
technology is the pipeline - a specialized framework that is responsible for orchestrating the
work of the autopilot components and ensuring interaction between them. You will be
responsible for building the framework from discussing needs with the users (technology
developers) and designing the solution to implementing it. As performance, safety, and reliability
are crucial aspects of the technology, you will play a key role in establishing best development
practices and will have a significant impact on the quality of the product.
What you will do
● Determine technology teams’ needs, design and implement foundation framework
responsible for executing autopilot code.
● Care about performance and safety. You will write high-performance code and build
infrastructure to monitor the system’s performance.
● Think about long-term data compatibility and algorithm reproducibility. The recorded data
is used to improve our algorithms and reliably measure their quality.
● Build infrastructure to help developers detect and understand problems in their code.
● Set up and automate automated testing processes for the autopilot code committed to
the repository.
● Care about writing well-designed and structured code. The simpler solutions we have,
the easier they are supported. Document the solutions into design docs.
Nice to have:
● Experience in Python. We use it for non-time-critical code.
● You have had experience writing Bazel rules and macros. We rely on this build system
heavily.
