Responsibilities
- Build closed-loop measurement that tracks agent acceptance, reversion, and override outcomes and guides expansion or reduction of autonomy.
- Automate bounded autoresearch workflows so agents can launch experiments, evaluate results, and make proposals without human intervention.
- Design isolation and permissioning for agents operating on production repositories and infrastructure with auditable records.
- Build agent runtime capabilities including orchestration, sandboxing, tool and skill frameworks, memory, identity, permissioning, gateways, and observability.
- Develop agent-powered engineering tools for code generation, review, debugging, test and CI failure attribution, knowledge retrieval, and triage.
- Support post-training of Nuro’s own models when internal workloads justify it.
Requirements
- At least 3 years of software engineering experience, or 2 years with a Master’s degree, in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Deep current understanding of LLM training, including data, tokenization, architecture, pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, preference optimization, and reinforcement learning.
- Understanding of inference systems, including attention, KV-cache behavior, batching, scheduling, quantization, speculative decoding, prefix caching, and context handling.
- Production experience building and operating LLM-based agent systems involving tool use, orchestration, sandboxing, retrieval, and memory.
- Strong backend and distributed-systems experience with cloud infrastructure, service design, storage, queuing, and reliable systems at scale.
- Strong Python programming skills.
- Hands-on post-training or fine-tuning experience, including SFT, preference optimization, reinforcement learning, distillation, and evaluation.
- Experience with ML training or research infrastructure, experiment orchestration, evaluation pipelines, hyperparameter search, and data pipelines.
- Experience operating inference serving, cost, or capacity at meaningful scale.
- Familiarity with planning, reflection, long-horizon memory, and multi-agent coordination patterns.
- Experience with open tool-integration protocols, plugin or skill frameworks, and model-routing or gateway layers.
- Background in developer experience, platform engineering, observability, or security isolation.
- Go, C++, or Rust experience in addition to Python.
- Staff-level candidates should bring correspondingly deeper scope and ownership.
Benefits
- Annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.

About Nuro
Nuro builds the Nuro Driver, a Level 4 self-driving platform for robotaxis, commercial fleets, and personally owned vehicles. It licenses its autonomy software and integrates it with automotive-grade hardware for automakers and mobility platforms. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, Nuro is privately held and has operated real-world self-driving deployments.
