Description

  • Instrument the behavior pipeline to identify latency spikes, resource contention, and memory inefficiencies.
  • Optimize high-frequency execution loops by improving cache utilization, eliminating dynamic allocations, and reducing tail latency.
  • Re-engineer thread boundaries and synchronization to improve multi-core parallelism while maintaining thread safety.
  • Build micro-benchmarks and runtime telemetry into CI/CD systems to detect performance regressions.
  • Partner with autonomy teams to design performant, low-overhead C++ module interfaces.
  • Own latency, throughput, memory utilization, and thread-safety performance targets for the decision-making pipeline.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in modern C++17/20, including RAII, low-overhead abstractions, and cache-friendly data layouts.
  • Deep knowledge of CPU cache hierarchies, memory alignment, lock-free concurrency, and Linux thread scheduling.
  • Hands-on experience with Linux profiling tools such as Perf, Tracy, or eBPF.
  • Experience with ASan, TSan, Valgrind, or comparable dynamic diagnostic tools.
  • Familiarity with micro-benchmarking frameworks such as Google Benchmark and CI performance-regression testing.
  • Experience developing performance-critical software, such as game engines, fintech systems, database runtimes, or operating system kernels.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent field.
  • At least 5 years of professional experience preferred.
  • Master’s degree or PhD, autonomous vehicle or robotics experience, and CI/CD performance infrastructure experience preferred.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $160,000–$180,000 USD.
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
  • Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts.
