I’ve seen the project name, but I’ve never been quite sure what the canonical noun is for a running instance. Are they actually called “claws”, or is that just me over-literalizing the branding?

Very curious

Building autonomous driving software at production scale across perception, prediction, planning, simulation, and the systems that power a commercial ride-hailing service.

Hiring now, Software Engineers and ML Engineers:

* Perception, Prediction, Planning ML Train and ship models for scene understanding and behavior, own E2E pipelines, and make the Driver smoother and safer. Examples: Senior ML Engineer, Prediction; Senior Software Engineer, Applied ML, Planner Technology; Senior or Principal roles in Perception Systems and Semantics.

* Simulation, World Modeling, Evaluation Push sim fidelity with foundation models, 3D reconstruction, sensor simulation, and realism metrics at massive scale. Examples: ML Engineer, Simulation; Senior ML Engineer, Simulation Realism; Principal Software Engineer, Simulator; Senior SWE, Model Evaluation; Research Scientist, World Modeling.

* Backend, Fullstack, Commercialization Build the backend and apps that run ride-hail at scale, from fleet orchestration to pickup and dropoff UX. Examples: Backend SWE, Fleet Orchestration; Backend SWE, Pickups and Dropoffs; Principal SWE, Commercialization; Senior Backend SWE; Fullstack TLM/Staff; Senior Frontend SWE, Simulation; Senior SWE, Data Tooling.

* ML Platform, Data Infra, and Data Science Power model training and evaluation with petabyte-scale data systems, lineage, feature stores, and decision science. Examples: Senior SWE, ML Data Infra; Senior SWE, Perception Data Primary; Senior Product Data Scientist; Data Engineer; Senior Data Scientist.

US comp examples from postings: Backend SWE $170k–$216k; Senior or Principal SWE and Staff-level ML roles commonly $204k–$421k base, plus bonus and equity. Roles vary by location and level.

It’s basically a big list of online news sources pulled straight from allainews.com, and it gives you links, article summaries, etc, plus RSS feeds. You can set up your feed by topic, which is super helpful, and it pulls in trending and real-time news too.

Mostly in person (MTV, SEA, NYC…a few other spots). Remote isn’t likely, but…we do have remote employees.
