We attract the best people, feeding their desire to excel by enabling them to do their greatest work.
Position
In Autonomous Driving team at TomTom we are looking for senior software engineer to work on advanced system for creating HD-map that is used in autonomous vehicles.
Your qualification
We expect senior software engineer to:
- Have very good technical skills including:
- understanding of software design principles
- fluency in Java and relational databases
- knowledge of microservice architecture
- knowledge of other popular technologies and programming languages
- basic understanding of mathematics, geometry, statistics
- Be familiar with industrial software delivery chain (version control, build, test, deploy)
- Be able to analyze problems and propose alternative solutions with understanding of their consequences
- Understand end-to-end what needs to be delivered within current project
- Not require much supervision while delivering agreed functionality
- Be able to influence co-workers to focus on delivering agreed functionality
- Know, use and promote good engineering practices
- Be technically proactive: follow world’s trends and learn about new technologies and tools
Will be a plus
- Experience with Amazon cloud
- JavaFX
- Python, Groovy
- GIS
- Automated deployment tools (e.g. Puppet, Ansible, Chef)
Additional details
We cover broad range of 'information technology' topics including:
- Distributed systems based on microservice architecture and deployed on Amazon cloud
- Production processes for managing work of hundreds of operators and automated tools (workflows, quality control)
- Dedicated desktop applications for professional map editing
- Infrastructure for gathering, processing, storing and publishing petabytes of data
- Relational and NoSQL databases
Additionally our team is highly involved in:
- Custom data collection hardware mounted on mobile mapping vans (and its software)
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence, recognition of objects in huge stream of data (e.g. road signs or road paintings in the whole world)
- Low-level programming (including GPU, CUDA)
Technologies we use depend on problems we solve. We try to use technologies best suited for particular case that don't conflict with those already in use:
- For back-end we mostly use Java 8
- For desktop editing applications - JavaFX
- Whenever beneficial we use Python or Node.js
- For image and laser point cloud processing we use mostly C++ for machine learning mostly C++ with GPU support (CUDA)
- Databases – typically PostgreSQL with PostGIS (but sometimes NoSQL solutions like MongoDB, DynamoDB)
Most of our production processes are deployed on AWS due to flexibility of infrastructure organization. Most of data storage and publishing infrastructure is located in our own data center.
We are promoting 'continuous delivery' approach which means we are focused on automation and we are able to deliver frequently (weekly or even daily) to quickly get user feedback.
Our teams are focused on solving problems end-to-end which means:
- Designing the solution (including selection of proper technologies and tools)
- Incremental implementation and delivery
- Taking responsibility for quality of delivered solution
- Making sure it runs smoothly on production
