Senior Full Stack Engineer, Data Mining
Motional · Boston, Massachusetts, United States; Las Vegas, Nevada, United States; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States; Remote U.S.
About this role
**Mission Summary** At Motional, we’re transforming how autonomous vehicles discover critical intelligence hidden within petabytes of multimodal sensor data. Our next-generation autonomous driving stack depends on finding rare edge cases, long-tail scenarios, and model errors that matter most. Omnitag (our ML-powered multimodal data mining framework), along with Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and triage products, form the core platform that powers this discovery and enables external customers to diagnose and resolve complex driving scenarios. As a **Senior Full Stack Engineer** on the **Data Mining** team, you’ll be the technical anchor for user-facing products—architecting UI excellence and control plane services that enable exploration across petabytes of data. You’ll build and scale high-performance APIs and intuitive interfaces delivering visualization, telemetry, and data mining directly to enterprise users. You’ll partner with UX designers, ML engineers, and core platform teams to champion front-end best practices, establish bulletproof testing patterns, and ensure every production release delivers a flawless user experience. **What You’ll Do** - **Drive Front-End & UI Excellence:** Serve as the technical anchor for customer-facing applications, setting standards for state management, component modularity, and performance using **React, Next.js, and TypeScript**. - **Bridge UX & Production:** Partner with UX/UI designers to translate complex workflows and design systems into responsive, performant web interfaces, interactive data visualizations, and telemetry tools. - **Architect Control Plane APIs:** Build and scale low-latency **REST and gRPC** microservices in **Python** and **Node.js/TypeScript** to manage and retrieve massive multimodal query payloads. - **Guarantee Reliability & CI/CD:** Establish robust testing strategies (**unit, integration, and E2E automation**) and **CI/CD** pipelines to ensure flawless releases and prevent UI/UX regressions. - **Cross-Functional Integration:** Collaborate with ML researchers, data mining engineers, and platform teams to translate data curation and triage needs into intuitive product features. - **Mentorship & Communication:** Mentor engineers on full-stack best practices and clearly articulate architectural strategies to technical peers and stakeholders. **What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)** - **BS/MS in Computer Science (or related)** + **6+ years** of professional full-stack experience building and scaling production web applications. - Proven track record with **React, Next.js, TypeScript** and strong backend development in **Python** and **Node.js** to design and operate high-performance **REST/gRPC** services. - Practical experience designing high-performance APIs and managing cloud infrastructure using **AWS (EKS, Lambda)** and **AWS CDK (TypeScript)** or **Terraform**. - Demonstrated experience establishing automated testing pipelines (e.g., **Cypress, Playwright**) and maturing **CI/CD** practices. - Track record collaborating with **UX designers, ML engineers, and data teams** to turn complex domain needs into intuitive tools. **Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)** - Experience in **autonomous vehicles (AV), robotics**, or real-time spatial/sensor data applications. - Product design sensibilities or direct **UI/UX** experience. - Familiarity with **3D visualization**, **Canvas/WebGL**, or 3D math/linear algebra for sensor data viewers. - Background in internal developer tooling, lo
