Autonomous Vehicle Operator at Nuro is a temporary (12-month) operations role responsible for operating autonomous test vehicles and collecting data to train self-driving algorithms. The position involves manual and autonomous mode driving, real-time troubleshooting, vehicle inspections, and feedback to engineering teams. Based on-site in Santa Clara, CA with overnight shifts; this is a vehicle operations and data collection role, not software engineering.

Nuro, a self-driving technology company founded in 2016, is seeking a Technical Lead for its Evaluation Infrastructure team, which enables L4 autonomous vehicle deployment through metrics frameworks, evaluation pipelines, and analysis tools. The role involves building and owning a unified metrics and validation platform that turns on-road and simulation logs into actionable signals for autonomy iteration and safety validation, while mentoring the team and setting technical standards across heuristic and ML-based evaluation approaches. Required qualifications include a B.Sc or M.Sc., 4+ years of relevant experience, strong fluency in distributed systems and large-scale data/ML pipelines, proven engineering leadership with cross-functional partnership skills, and proficiency in Python, C++, or similar languages, with daily use of modern AI coding assistants like Claude Code or Cursor. The base salary range is $193,930–$291,150/year plus performance bonus, equity, and benefits. A standout requirement is the "AI-native mindset"—daily use of AI coding assistants and agentic tools is essential, not optional, reflecting Nuro's emphasis on AI-driven productivity and automated evaluation approaches.
