We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. ABOUT THE ROLE As the data engine team, our goal is to provide a central data and machine learning platform that can be used across all verticals of the company. We’re looking for generalist engineers that want to build the foundations of a new workflow that spans: 1. Data ingestion from a production fleet 2. Data processing and storage (TBs/car/day) 3. Labeling infrastructure 4. Machine learning infrastructure This group has a massive scope to define how product verticals across the company are deployed at scale for our customers given data and machine learning infrastructure is at the heart of the autonomy problem. We’re still very early in development s
