We are looking for a motivated Software Engineer Intern to join our team and help build the next generation of tools for autonomous driving. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience building fleet management products that enable our Autonomous Vehicles (AV) to operate at scale.
You will work alongside experienced engineers to develop real-world features for our Command Center, Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, and ride-hailing integrations. You will be fully embedded in the team, writing production code, participating in code reviews, and learning how distributed systems are built at a global scale.
The internship will take place in our Singapore office and we expect a full-time internship period of at least 5 months. We offer flexible working hours and allow for remote work. The candidate will however have to live in Singapore for the duration of the internship.
What will you be doing:
- Collaborate with senior engineers to design, build, and test new features for our cloud platform.
- Identify and fix bugs, refactor code, and improve test coverage to ensure system reliability.
- Participate in system design discussions, code reviews, and daily stand-ups to understand the lifecycle of high-scale software.
- Help monitor production services and assist in troubleshooting issues to support our live AV fleet.
What you will be working on:
- Contributing to dispatch and ride-hailing logic.
- Assisting with integrations for partners like Uber and Lyft.
- Building services that enable audio/video communication between AVs and remote operators.
- Developing workflows to support driverless AV operations.
What we hope you’ll come with:
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong foundational knowledge of data structures and algorithms, with proficiency in Golang, Python (through coursework or personal projects).
- A strong desire to learn about distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and the AV industry.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and learning new technologies quickly.
Bonus Points:
- Previous internship experience or personal projects involving web services or APIs.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), Docker, or SQL/NoSQL databases.
- Interest or coursework in Robotics, IoT, or Autonomous Vehicles.

Our journey is always people first.
We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.
Higher purpose, greater impact.
We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.
Scale up, not starting up.
Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
