Build the Future
At comma, we are solving self-driving cars while delivering shippable intermediaries.
If Tesla is the iOS of self-driving, we are the Android.
So why comma? You will work on software that is enjoyed by thousands of users every day. Every line of code you write will run thousands of times per second on comma devices in the field, or in our data center processing over 40 thousand miles of driving data every day. This completely changes the way you'll write software. Testing at comma means running your algorithms on a petabyte of real-world data. Our goal is a fully end-to-end machine learning solution to the self-driving problem. We promise you won't be writing a cone detector!

We Are Looking For
Competitors
People who have done well at math competitions (USAMO, IMO, PUTNAM), competition programming (ACM, USACO, codejam, topcoder), science fairs (ISEF, STS), or capture the flag (DEFCON, secuinside, GITS). Those competitions don't just select for ability, they also select for quickness. We are in a very competitive space.
Contributors
People who have contributed value to open source projects. Show us your github. Got stars? Code is never measured in quantity, but rather quality. We value those who can do more with less code; software engineering doesn't have an external selection pressure for low part count and cost like EE and ME, but you pay massive costs down the line in debugging and upkeep.
Architects
People who can design good APIs and source layouts on the first try. This is crucial to working in teams and scaling. Before you do work, you should be able to explain to a contractor what you want done. ME has a great divide between design and machining that software lacks; we want to try to fix that.
Are you a good fit?
Try Our Programming Challenge
All positions are full time and on site in downtown San Diego or Rotterdam (openpilot engineers only.) If you think you’re a good fit, e-mail us: work at comma.ai. If you include a good solution to our programming challenge in your e-mail, we'll take you much more seriously.
After a programming challenge, we'll do a phone screen and if that goes well, we will bring you out for a microinternship, where you'll meet the team and work on a real problem in our real codebase for a few days.
