DiDi Global is the world's leading mobile transportation platform offering a full range of app-based services to users around the world. Backed by Techstars.
About the role
We are seeking an experienced Sr. Software Engineer / Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure to lead the architecture and evolution of the core platform powering our autonomous driving software stack. In this role, you will define the technical roadmap for our high-performance middleware, custom compiler infrastructure (including ccatch), onboard toolchains, and large-scale simulation frameworks (ezsim and automated crash triage).
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field
- 6–10+ years of software engineering experience designing, architecting, and maintaining complex real-time systems, Linux systems infrastructure, or autonomous driving platforms in C++
- Proven track record of technical leadership, system architecture, and driving complex, multi-team engineering initiatives from inception to production deployment
- Expert-level understanding of C++, system programming, multi-threading, concurrency models, and low-latency IPC/middleware architectures
- Deep knowledge of compiler internals (Clang/GCC, LLVM), build systems (Bazel/CMake), and compilation optimization tools (including caching systems like ccatch)
- Proven capability in debugging complex system-level faults, kernel/user-space crashes, memory corruption, and race conditions
More about this role
DiDi's autonomous driving unit was established in 2016 with the mission of developing Level 4 autonomous driving (AD) technology to make transportation safer and more efficient. In August 2019, the unit became an independent company, DiDi Autonomous Driving, dedicated to advanced AD R&D, product application, and business expansion. We believe integrating AD technology into a shared-mobility fleet will generate immense social value. By leveraging DiDi's specialized technology, operational expertise, and integrated ecosystem, we are positioned to build and operate a highly efficient, user-oriented autonomous fleet.
