Required Algorithm Researcher – Autonomous Driving (CTO Group)
The CTO Group is a small, elite team focused on the decision-making module of our autonomous driving system.
Our mission is to solve some of the hardest problems in autonomous driving by combining the full spectrum of modern computer science – from rigorous mathematical modeling, optimization, and algorithm design to deep learning.
The team develops the driving policies that translate system-wide inputs into safe, efficient, and human-like driving behavior. Our work spans classical algorithms, optimization under constraints, probabilistic reasoning, reinforcement & supervised learning, all grounded in real-world driving data.
The group is comprised of top researchers and developers and is led by world-class scientists, offering a unique opportunity to work closely with the CTO, shape the future of autonomous driving, and influence the company's technical direction.
What will your job look like:
Research and develop innovative algorithms for autonomous driving planning and decision-making.
Model complex real-world driving scenarios and formulate them as optimization, learning, or algorithmic problems.
Apply a broad range of techniques – from mathematical modeling and classical algorithms to machine learning and deep learning – to improve driving policies.
Analyze large-scale driving data to gain insights, validate hypotheses, and improve system robustness and performance.
Design and implement high-quality production-ready code in a research-driven environment.
Read, evaluate, and build upon state-of-the-art scientific literature in algorithms, AI, and machine learning.
