Full Job Description
This role follows a hybrid work schedule and you will report to the Group Product Manager.

You will:
  • Play a critical role in making Waymo's AV maps as useful as possible by creating software, processes, and metrics for our fleet to navigate and respond to dynamic real-world disruptions (e.g., road closures, construction, weather risks, special events)
  • Develop automated pipelines and operational tooling to scalably ingest and arbitrate vehicle observations and third-party data (including contributions from local authorities and data aggregators). You'll have to manage tradeoffs like the credibility of data provenance against the freshness of newer, less validated data
  • Partner with teams to understand the impact-positive and negative-of map changes, ensuring we reliably manage disruptions while maintaining high service quality and rider satisfaction
  • Manage a geospatial database of information that improves the Waymo Drivers' understanding of the world around it
  • Work with scaled organizations to develop the processes, metrics, and training necessary to execute your product vision

You have:
  • Deep technical acumen of complex, multi-model systems that all need to work together towards common goals
  • Track record of excellent stakeholder management to bring disparate parts of an organization together to a common consensus
  • "Infrastructure sense", if not actual experience working on critical infrastructure
  • Amazing attention to detail. This isn't just a "table stakes" skillset that candidates should gloss over-the issues this Product Manager will work with require deep thinking and consideration of complex physical spaces

We prefer:
  • ML experience; particularly understanding the management of model precision/recall gaps and developing processes to improve on them
  • Experience with geospatial datasets, including integrating third-party traffic & weather data or handling real-time routing optimization
  • AV experience nice but not required
  • Experience with databases that retain the concept of data provenance and use it in downstream logic
