Senior Backend Engineer Vehicle Foundation

Senior Backend Engineer (all genders) – Vehicle Foundation

To make the vision of an autonomously driving mobility service a reality, the teams in our Vehicle Integration domain develop applications and tools needed to enable autonomous passenger management within our MOIA vehicles in a world without a driver. How do passengers authenticate themselves in an autonomous vehicle? How do we ensure a safe cabin during boarding and the ride? Which content should be displayed on the vehicle screens to provide a safe and informative user experience for the passenger?

The Vehicle Foundation team boosts the vehicle feature development process for the feature teams working in our domain by providing foundational features. We develop modern automated solutions for hardware and software platforms by covering tooling, observability, security, and provisioning. Additionally, we keep and maintain stable in‑vehicle features and connectivity suited to the ride pooling experience for passengers and the fleet of the existing MOIA system.
