About the Team

Help teach our self-driving vehicles how to see and understand the world.

TheData Labeling Engineeringteam designs builds andoperateshybrid human/machine data labeling tools and pipelines that power autonomous vehicle machine learning models within General MotorsAV organization. Weoperatein the intersection ofsoftware engineeringdata engineering andAI/ML defining the strategies tooling and quality controls that create reliable training data at scale. Our tools and platform are used by thousands of users and consumers.

We own a modern fullstack architecture includingTypeScript/React PythonGraphQL Golang andML model services which powers dataannotation pipelines and machineled training data solutions atfoundationmodel scale. We partner closelyacrossAI/ML engineersProduct OperationsProduct ManagementData Science and otherML

Platformgroups.

About the Role

As an early-career Software Engineer on the Data Labeling Engineering team you will build tools and services that help machine learning teams create high-quality training data for autonomous driving. Your work may span frontend experiences backend services data pipelines machine learning integrations and quality systems used by labelers ML engineers and operations teams.

This role is designed for a recent college graduate or engineer early in their careerwho wants to own meaningful pieces of a platform grow their technicalexpertise and work directly on systems that enable the next generation of AV capabilities. You will learn from experienced engineers while contributing to production systems and developing depth across frontend backend data and ML-adjacent technologies.

WhatYoullDo
  • Level up how ML teams work with data
    Develop automation and tooling that give ML engineers deep insight into labeling workflows and data quality (e.g. efficiency dashboards autoQA autolabel review tools) reducing iteration time from idea to trained model.

  • Apply ML tolabelingitself
    Collaborate with ML engineers to design and integrate MLdriven data annotation (prelabelingautolabeling active learning loops) helping us move from humanonly to machineled labeling at scale.

  • Build highimpact labeling experiences
    Design implement and test scalable highperformance user experiences and services using modern fullstack and/or frontend technologies.Youllship features spanning multiplesurface-areasthat directly affect how quickly and accurately we can label data for new models and cities.

  • Champion AIassisted engineering
    Use and advocate for modern AIpowered development workflows (code assistants automated documentation test generation etc.) to increase build-velocity whilemaintainingcode and product quality.
