Daimler Autonomous Services | ONSITE, Full-Time | Berlin, Germany | VISA Sponsorship We are building AV-enabled routing and mapping capabilities to help ride-hailers and car manufacturers around the world shape the future of autonomous mobility. Together with Daimler's autonomous and vehicle teams our goal is not simply to get our customers from A to B but to get them there with the quality and safety they have come to expect from our brand. We are hiring for: * Backend - Node.js, Swagger/OpenAPI, k8s; to work on our services and the underlying infrastructure * Routing & Maps - Python, C++, Rust; to work on graphs, shortest path algorithms, machine maps / lane-level maps * Machine Learning - PyTorch, TensorFlow; to work on feature extraction, graph embeddings, traffic models, and demand prediction Some example projects our engineers have

worked on before: * https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend * https://github.com/mapbox/robosat Bonus points if you have worked professionally with geospatial data and software before and/or have contributed to OpenStreetMap, be it code or map edits. Write me a note at daniel(dot)hofmann(at)daimler(dot)com telling me about what projects you've worked on that fit what we're looking for. Include a robot emoji in the subject to confirm you are not a robot ;) You can also find us and talk to us engineers at local meetups such as Geo Berlin.
