About The Position

Join us to define the future of autonomous driving through technology—and leave a lasting, meaningful impact on the world. We are seeking a determined, product-focused Senior Technical Program Manager to help compose and build our global-scale crowdsourced mapping product. This map acts as the spatio-temporal foundation for on-vehicle driving models, enabling autonomous vehicles (AVs) to steadily improve performance on frequently traveled routes. You will join our dynamic, fast-paced AV organization, where we develop technologies that power everything from driver assistance to full “hands-off, mind-off” autonomous driving capabilities. Are you ready to manage complex technical systems that deliver true self-driving capabilities to users? In this role, you will lead the effort by working closely with crowdsourced mapping software teams. You will communicate effectively across the AV ecosystem and partner with cross-functional groups, customers, and vendors.
