• The Senior Software Engineer will be a major contributor on the team to deliver digital maps to major automakers, for e.g. BMWs, VWs, Audi, Daimler. You will work on a technology to collect and process road information from many sources, terabytes of data, including car sensors from millions of cars on the road. Our services convert this input into a digital map which is delivered back to the cars and used for navigation, driver assistance and even autonomous driving.
• Developers building new services will rapidly launch their differentiated prototypes leveraging templates that enforce security, availability, and efficiency best-practices with a minimal collection of service-specific libraries.
