In our cars, you’re free to be yourself. It’s the same here at Cruise. We’re creating a culture that values the experiences and contributions of all of the unique individuals who collectively make up Cruise, so that every employee can do their best work.
Cruise is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, both in our workplace and in our products. If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, come join us. Even if you might not meet every requirement, we strongly encourage you to apply. You might just be the right candidate for us.
Build Platform owns creating the build system and tooling that supports our AV and AI developers. We use Bazel in front of an in-house Remote Bazel Executor (RBE) and Content Addressable Storage (CAS) to provide a premier build experience at Cruise. Our team is constantly on the lookout for optimizations and new tooling that improves our product.
Cruise AV developers are heavy users of C++. We are responsible for the toolchains, workflows, and tools that allow them to quickly write code with high quality. We work with compilers, toolchains, dynamic/static analyzers, docker, and other tools to reliably build, test, and run AV code. Improvements and optimizations by Build Platform have outsized impacts on the pace of Cruise development.
