What You’ll Do

The Engineering team for the annotation platform builds the web-based tooling that turns multi-sensor autonomy data into labeled datasets used to train and validate autonomous systems. As a Software Engineer II on the Fleet Enablement & Insights (Annotation Platform) team, you will design, build, and maintain both the interactive 2D/3D annotation editor and the services that power it. You will work across front-end visualization, backend services, and data ingestion pipelines to deliver reliable, high-performance tools used by annotators and ML workflows.

• Design, develop, and maintain a TypeScript + React web application for 2D/3D annotation (cuboids, polygons, interpolation, track propagation, attribute editing, and review workflows).
• Implement high-performance point cloud and image rendering using three.js/WebGL: octree/LOD streaming, predictive prefetching, camera–LiDAR projection, and synchronized multi-sensor overlays.
• Build backend services for label storage & versioning, task assignment, QA workflows, authentication, and multi-user isolation.
• Integrate pre-labeling / pseudo-labeling outputs and instrument acceptance-rate and throughput metrics to close the auto-labeling feedback loop.
• Fuse HD map layers and priors into labeling and QC workflows.
• Create data converters and ingestion paths for multi-sensor scenes (LiDARs, cameras, calibration) to platform formats.
• Deliver dataset exports with lineage and auditability required for downstream ML training and safety validation.
• Use AWS and Databricks-adjacent tooling to host scene data and deploy scalable services.
• Collaborate closely with Data Annotation, Autonomy/ML, Scene Selection, Mapping, and Data Engineering to align the platform with real workflows.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, sprint planning, and demos; contribute to code reviews, documentation, and hardening prototypes into production systems.
• Identify and remediate technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and reliability gaps.

What You’ll Need To Succeed

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React; experience shipping production web applications.
• Experience with browser-based 3D graphics (three.js, WebGL) or strong graphics fundamentals.
• Proficiency in Python for backend services and APIs.
• Experience working with large sensor datasets (point clouds, imagery, video) and optimizing data-heavy UIs.
• Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with PostgreSQL for labels, tasks, and metadata.
• Practical experience with AWS services for data hosting and service deployment.
• Proficiency with Git and GitHub for collaborative development.
• Familiarity with JIRA or similar tools for tracking work.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and system design.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate with non-engineer users.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field — or equivalent experience.

Bonus Points

• Experience with point cloud streaming / LOD formats (Potree, COPC, 3D Tiles, LAS/LAZ).
• Prior work on annotation/labeling tools or platforms.
• Familiarity with robotics visualization ecosystems (Rerun, Foxglove, MCAP, ROS bag tooling).
• Background in perception ML workflows (detection, tracking, segmentation, auto-labeling).
• Knowledge of multi-view geometry and sensor calibration (intrinsics/extrinsics, projection, time sync).
• Experience with HD map formats (OpenDRIVE, NDS, Lanelet2) and fusing map data.
• Familiarity with PostGIS / spatial queries.
• Experience with Databricks or large-scale data processing platforms.
• Contributions to relevant open-source projects.
