Senior Full Stack Engineer, Data Mining

Motional is a driverless technology company developing autonomous vehicles and related safety systems. The Senior Full Stack Engineer will anchor user-facing data mining products by building high-performance interfaces, APIs, control plane services, testing strategies, and CI/CD pipelines for exploring multimodal sensor data. The role also involves cross-functional collaboration and mentoring engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Drive Front-End & UI Excellence: Serve as the technical anchor for customer-facing applications, setting standards for state management, component modularity, and performance using React, Next.js, and TypeScript
• Bridge UX & Production: Partner closely with UX/UI designers to translate complex workflows and design systems into responsive, performant web interfaces, interactive data visualizations, and telemetry tools
• Architect Control Plane APIs: Build and scale low-latency REST and gRPC microservices in Python and Node.js/TypeScript to efficiently manage and retrieve massive multimodal query payloads
• Guarantee Reliability & CI/CD: Establish robust testing strategies (unit, integration, and E2E automation) and CI/CD pipelines to ensure flawless releases and prevent UI/UX regressions across client deployments
• Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate with ML researchers, data mining engineers, and platform teams to translate cutting-edge data curation and triage needs into intuitive product features
• Mentorship & Communication: Mentor engineers on full-stack best practices while clearly articulating architectural strategies to both technical peers and stakeholders

Requirements:

• BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, with 6+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience building and scaling production web applications
• Proven track record in modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js, TypeScript) paired with strong backend development in Python and Node.js to design and operate high-performance REST and gRPC services
• Practical experience designing high-performance APIs and managing cloud infrastructure using AWS (EKS, Lambda) and AWS CDK (TypeScript) or Terraform
• Demonstrated experience establishing automated testing pipelines (e.g., Cypress, Playwright) and maturing CI/CD practices to safeguard user experience across deployments
• Track record of collaborating with UX designers, ML engineers, and data teams to transform complex technical domain needs into intuitive tools
• Prior experience in autonomous vehicles (AV), robotics, or real-time spatial/sensor data applications
• Product design sensibilities or direct UI/UX experience
• Familiarity with 3D visualization, Canvas/WebGL, or 3D math/linear algebra fundamentals for handling sensor data viewers
• Background in internal developer tooling, log ingestion, telemetry viewers, or data annotation systems
