<h2>Who We Are </h2>Nuro is a self-driving technology company on a mission to make autonomy accessible to all. Founded in 2016, Nuro is building the world’s most scalable driver, combining cutting-edge AI with automotive-grade hardware. Nuro licenses its core technology, the Nuro Driver™, to support a wide range of applications, from robotaxis and commercial fleets to personally owned vehicles. With technology proven over years of self-driving deployments, Nuro gives the automakers and mobility platforms a clear path to AVs at commercial scale, empowering a safer, richer, and more connected future.<h2>About the Role</h2>Operating a vehicle remotely over cellular networks is challenging and critical. You will be responsible for ensuring that our "eyes on the road" never blink. You’ll tackle deep-stack networking challenges—from bonding multiple LTE carriers to designing custom FEC (Forward Error Correction) algorithms that out-perform standard protocols.<h2>About the Work </h2><ul><li>Engineered Connectivity: Architect a network bonding framework to aggregate bandwidth across multiple cellular providers (Verizon, AT&amp;T, T-Mobile) to ensure zero-drop connectivity.</li><li>Performance Modeling: Build sophisticated ns-3-like simulations to "stress test" our stack against edge cases like tunnel entries, rural dead zones, and network congestion.</li><li>Optimization: Develop and implement custom congestion control algorithms specifically tuned for high-bitrate, low-latency video streaming.</li><li>Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Hardware and Embedded teams to optimize the network stack directly on our vehicle gateway.</li><li>Tech We Use<ul><li>Languages: C++20, Go</li><li>Protocols: WebRTC, Websocket, QUIC, SRT, gRPC</li><li>Tools: Wireshark </li></ul></li></ul><h2>About You </h2><ul><li>Systems Thinker: You have a deep understanding of the Linux networking stack, socket programming, and how data moves from the physical layer to the application.</li><li>C++ Expert: You write performant, thread-safe code and understand the nuances of real-time systems.</li><li>Protocol Native: You don’t just use TCP/UDP; you understand why they fail in high-mobility environments and how to implement FEC or ARQ to compensate.</li><li>Experience: 5+ years of industry experience (or a PhD with a focus on Networking/Distributed Systems and 3+ years of industry experience).</li></ul><h2>Bonus Points  </h2><ul><li>Video streaming framework experience, e.g., WebRTC</li><li>Understanding of video codec such as VP8, VP9, H264/265 etc.</li></ul>At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.

We believe that great technology should benefit everyone. The team at Nuro is accelerating a future where robots make life easier and help us connect to the people and things we love. Together, we're pushing the boundaries of robotics to improve human life.
Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu have devoted their careers to robotics and machine learning, most recently as Principal Engineers at Google's self-driving car project (now Waymo). They founded Nuro in 2016 to harness the power of robotics and artificial intelligence to solve new challenges at a global scale.
Our vehicle is a fully autonomous, on-road vehicle designed to transport goods quickly, safely, and affordably.
With no driver or passengers to worry about, our vehicle has been engineered from the ground up to keep what's outside even safer than what's inside.
Efficient, electric, and fully autonomous, it delivers life's needs at a price anyone can afford.
