Senior Software Engineer, Networking & Real-Time Systems

Nuro•Mountain View, CA

8h•$193,930 - $291,150

About The Position

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.

Requirements

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.
C++ Expert: You write performant, thread-safe code and understand the nuances of real-time systems.
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.
Experience: 5+ years of industry experience (or a PhD with a focus on Networking/Distributed Systems and 3+ years of industry experience).

Nice To Haves

Video streaming framework experience, e.g., WebRTC
Understanding of video codec such as VP8, VP9, H264/265 etc.

Responsibilities

Engineered Connectivity: Architect a network bonding framework to aggregate bandwidth across multiple cellular providers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) to ensure zero-drop connectivity.
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.
Optimization: Develop and implement custom congestion control algorithms specifically tuned for high-bitrate, low-latency video streaming.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Hardware and Embedded teams to optimize the network stack directly on our vehicle gateway.
