The role
As a Fullstack Engineer on our AV Insights squad, you’ll be at the forefront of building products that tell our story of our self-driving performance for both internal and external users. From talking to users to fully understand user needs, to building and validating new features, you’ll own every step of the process—ensuring each solution truly meets the problem it sets out to solve. While we move quickly, quality is never sacrificed, and you’ll be expected to deliver robust, high-performing fullstack applications that raise the bar.
You’ll design and implement scalable 3D and 2D visualizations in the browser (using libraries like Three.js and D3.js), and maintain and extend our custom data-streaming solutions to ensure smooth data flow into the client. You’ll also perform UX research (in collaboration with our UX team) to keep user feedback at the center of every decision.
Beyond the front-end, you’ll build and maintain product features in our NodeJs backend and Prisma managed DB, and work closely with engineering, simulation, and research teams to decide what cutting edge scientific visualisation tooling the team needs to build next.
In short, you’ll embrace new technologies, push the boundaries of AV performance visualization, and deliver meaningful impact that improves the experience for our users every step of the way.
