Description

Revolutionize the future of autonomous driving with us. We are seeking a talented Senior Frontend Software Engineer to join our Map Creator team. The successful candidate will be integral to the development of a cutting-edge, web-based semantic map annotation editor for our autonomous vehicles. This role involves managing massive-scale map data, by ensuring it can be edited, validated, and visualized, while maintaining great performance. Furthermore, you will also take part in automating map generation processes and designing efficient user workflows to drive operational profitability. Your contributions will directly shape the future of transportation. If you're passionate about building impactful, user-friendly solutions and thrive in a collaborative, innovative environment, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. What you'll tackle: Design, build, document, test, and maintain our web-based map editors and 3D visualizations, ensuring they handle massive datasets with ease. Craft clean, maintainable code that sets the standard for best practices across the team. Monitor, support, and resolve issues as they arise. Optimize web applications for peak performance, making sure our tools can handle terabytes of map data visualization, validation, and editing. Take ownership of projects, driving innovation and process improvements that elevate our entire workflow. Work hand-in-hand with Machine Learning teams to integrate automations, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in map annotation. Collaborate with diverse international teams to develop cutting-edge map solutions that meet the evolving needs of our researchers and engineers. Harness cutting-edge AI tools to supercharge your daily workflow, and actively contribute to integrating agentic AI capabilities directly into our development lifecycle. Join our team if you: Possess a minimum of 5 years of experience as a frontend software engineer. Are a Typescript maestro and a React rockstar. Have a knack for UI/UX design, making complex tools intuitive and delightful. Write great design docs that clearly articulate technical proposals, architectural decisions, and implementation details for our mapping solutions. Have a rock-solid grasp of engineering fundamentals, such as observability, concurrency, parallelization, frontend architecture, and design patterns. Top-notch performance optimization skills. Love solving complex problems and are always eager to learn something new. Can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical international folks with your stellar communication skills. Bonus points if you: Bring hands-on experience with geospatial data and modern mapping systems. Experience with 3D visualization libraries such as Three.js or DeckGL, or direct experience with WebGL and WebGPU. Why This Role? This isn’t just another web app—it’s a rare, genuinely fun frontend opportunity to build highly interactive, 2D/3D editing tools that shape the physical world. You will join a closely integrated, innovative team that is advancing autonomous driving technology to new levels. Your work will fuel the tools powering our AVs, streamline workflows, automate the complex stuff, and support our researchers and engineers as they redefine what’s possible. Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more. Our journey is always people first. We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move. Higher purpose, greater impact. We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads.
