About the role
We already operate a substantial agent system in production — a fleet of agents with an extensive library of skills and plugins, integrated into the tools our engineers use daily. This role is about what it takes to make that system trustworthy, autonomous, and an order of magnitude more capable. Three things sit at the center of it.
What they're looking for
- Build the closed-loop measurement layer that tells us, per workflow, whether agent output is accepted, reverted, or overridden — and use it to decide where autonomy expands and where it gets pulled back
- Take the autoresearch loop from assisted to unattended for a bounded class of experiments, including the eval and confidence machinery required to run it without a human in the loop
- Design the isolation and permissioning model that lets agents act on production repositories and infrastructure with an auditable record of what they did and why
- 5+ years of software engineering experience (or 4+ with a Master's) in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience. Staff-level candidates should bring correspondingly deeper scope and ownership
- You have built and operated LLM-based agent systems in production — tool use, orchestration, sandboxing, retrieval, memory — and you know where they break
- Strong backend and distributed systems background at scale: cloud infrastructure, service design, storage, queuing, and the judgment to build things that stay up
More about this role
Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.
With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.
Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.
Frontier models are fungible. Any team can rent the same intelligence we can, and the model we build on today will be replaced within a month. What is not fungible is...
