When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.

Meet the team:
The Labeling Operations team is responsible for producing high quality labels to train our deep learning model. We label vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects, assess label quality and impact on performance, and continuously deliver data that allows for the continuous iteration and improvement of our product.
The more team members learn, the better they can review and analyze the data we collect. This helps ensure our output is the best possible input for everything from identifying a stop sign to detecting another car in the distance.
We are looking for a driven team member to contribute to the development of our automated driving technologies. In this role, you will work with in-house tools to label sensor data coming directly from the Latitude fleet. The perfect candidate for this role is someone who is able to adapt in a fast-paced work environment, has a strong attention to detail, and has experience with computers and other software.
What you’ll do:
- Review and sample labeled and annotated sensor data (primarily 2D images and 3D LiDAR) to ensure quality standards are met
- Master the ontology (what we label) and the policy (how we label)
- Contribute to training and policy documentation to improve the effectiveness of our operations
- Provide quality assurance for tooling updates and pipeline launches
- Work across multiple teams to drive a unified understanding of Latitude data across the company
What you'll need to succeed:
- Experience with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, or a similar suite of tools
- Strong communication skills, written and verbal
- Ability to maintain prolonged focus and attention to detail while sampling large volumes of data
- The ability to report with clarity on bugs in tools, sample data, and labeling trends
- High School Diploma or GED equivalent with two years of employment experience required
Nice to have:
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree preferred
- A basic understanding of Jira or other workflow management tools
- A basic understanding of Confluence or other wiki platforms
- Previous experience working for a self-driving company
