Senior C++ Software Engineer, Remote Assist

Stack is developing revolutionary AI and advanced autonomous systems designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern operations. Stack's autonomous technology incorporates cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and cloud technologies, empowering us to create innovative solutions that address the needs and challenges of the dynamic trucking transportation industry. With decades of experience creating and deploying real world systems for demanding environments, the Stack team is dedicated to developing an autonomous solution ecosystem tailored to the trucking industry's unique demands.

This is for a C/C++ software engineer with a focus on communications protocols and data streaming for Remote Assistance. The Remote Assist team accelerates the delivery of our self-driving system, increases the on-time arrival of freight shipments, and improves the behavior of our autonomous trucks on the road. We do so by delivering a tool for human operators to remotely assist the self-driving system in complex and ambiguous situations. The Remote Assistance team is a very broad full-stack team. We deliver on complex user interfaces, reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure, live video over cellular connections, new autonomy capabilities, and integrations with the autonomy system. We're a dynamic and pragmatic team that has superpower in-house abilities to categorically change the trajectory of our company's success.
