Waymo is Alphabet's autonomous driving company and one of the most advanced self-driving technology programmes in the world. The Waymo Driver powers a commercial robotaxi service operating in San Francisco, Phoenix, and other US cities, completing millions of driverless rides. The company's mission is to make it safe and easy for people and things to move around.

Engineering at Waymo spans perception, prediction, motion planning, simulation, mapping, and the infrastructure to support millions of miles of real-world and simulated driving. The tech stack includes C++, Python, TensorFlow, and large-scale distributed systems for training and deploying ML models. Engineers work on some of the hardest problems in applied machine learning and robotics, with tight feedback loops between simulation and real-world deployment.
