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.
How do you solve self driving cars? You don't do it by solving the problem one part at a time. There are no parts. There is just a model that contains the human policy of driving. We have 10,000,000 miles (20 years) of driving data sitting on hard drives ready to be trained on. Write the training code, fix the bugs, and watch it drive. Think AlphaGo, but for self driving cars.
And the minute we do solve it, we already have thousands of users to deploy to. The second largest fleet outside Tesla, and likely to be the largest soon.

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. 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.
