About Applied Intuition
Applied Intuition builds the toolchain that enables the world's leading physical AI programs to develop, validate, and deploy these complex systems safely. Our software is used by top automotive OEMs, trucking companies, and robotaxi programs to accelerate the path from research to production.
About the Team
The Insights platform is the data and analytics layer underlying Applied Intuition's physical AI development tooling suite. We own the full stack — from ingestion and query infrastructure to data discoverability, dataset management, and next-generation agentic analytics. Our platform gives autonomy engineers complete visibility and control over the data their workflows produce: sensor logs, simulation runs, model eval results, KPIs, and more. It gives users the flexibility to analyze and operationalize that data quickly, minimizing any technical barriers.
We're building the next-generation Insights platform for physical AI — one that scales alongside the fleets, simulation environments, and end-to-end models that define where the industry is headed.
What You'll Work On
Ingestion & Data Reliability — The entry point for all data on the platform. The correctness, freshness, and reliability of everything downstream depends on getting this right at scale across a diverse set of upstream sources.
Query Critical Path — The infrastructure every single query in our product flows through. Latency, correctness, and stability here has a direct, visible impact on every user of the platform, every day.
Dashboarding & Autonomy-Native Visualization — The analytics surface that users actually see. Beyond standard BI, we build visualizations and integrations specific to physical AI: geographic views, log and simulation playback, and domain-specific renderers that don't exist off the shelf.
Agentic Analytics — The frontier of what Insights becomes. Building the architecture that lets an AI understand a user's intent, reason about the underlying data and physical AI concepts, and deliver answers, charts, and dashboards entirely through natural language.
Data Discoverability & Governance — The connective tissue that lets users and agents understand what data exists, where it came from, and how to use it. Without this, scale becomes a liability rather than an asset.
Dataset Lifecycle Management — The operational foundation that keeps the data lakehouse healthy and performant as data volumes grow by orders of magnitude.
Data Wrangling & Transformation — The tools that give users agency over their own data — enabling custom preparation and ETL flows without ever leaving the product.
Why This Role
This is a high-ownership role on a small team building the infrastructure that the entire autonomy development workflow depends on. You'll have end-to-end ownership of systems used daily by engineers at some of the most sophisticated autonomous vehicle programs in the world — at a stage where your architectural decisions will shape the platform for years to come.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of industry experience
- Experience building production data infrastructure, platform engineering, or distributed systems
- Experience with large-scale data processing and query execution at production scale
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals: API design, service reliability, query optimization, distributed system trade-offs, telemetry and monitoring
- Experience with data lakehouse architectures, table formats, or query federation is a strong plus
- Comfort operating across the stack — from storage and query engines to APIs and product-facing tooling
- Familiarity with building for observability: metrics, alerting, and operational health of data systems
- Experience developing, testing, and shipping software with coding agents
- Bonus: experience with LLM tool use, developing agentic workflows, or semantic layers for natural language interfaces
- Bonus: exposure to multimodal data, geospatial systems, or AV/robotics tooling

However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.
About the role
Applied Intuition is seeking a technical lead to drive the day-to-day operations of our mapping team. Maps serve as a foundational interface with autonomous vehicle perception, planning, and localization systems.
This is a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of data collection, map production, validation, simulation, and field operations. You'll own the production schedule, lead first-line triage of map and data issues, and serve as the connective tissue between mapping specialists, software engineering, and field operations teams. The right person thrives in a high-throughput environment, brings deep technical judgment, and knows how to keep a team organized and unblocked. You will directly impact AV stack performance.
This is an excellent opportunity for professionals with a background in high definition (HD) map creation who are comfortable with technical workflows, iterative feedback cycles, and real-time prioritization in a startup environment.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
- Lead a team of mapping specialists, setting priorities, managing workloads, and maintaining a clear production schedule across concurrent map build and update cycles
- Own the weekly and sprint-level production calendar — balancing incoming requests for mapping new areas, improving map quality, and supporting field tests
- Run daily standups and triage sessions; escalate blockers quickly and make real-time prioritization decisions based on operational impact to keep the pipeline moving
- Mentor specialists, conduct technical reviews of their work, and establish standards for map labeling, QC, acceptance criteria, and documentation
- Serve as the primary escalation point for map data issues flagged during map production, validation, or by downstream consumers, including initial triage, creating actionable followup tasks, and routing to maps and engineering teams for resolution
- Build and maintain a triage playbook so the team can classify and resolve common issues consistently and quickly
- Coordinate with engineers to validate HD map accuracy in simulation environments and close gaps before map releases
- Close the loop with operations and safety teams so field feedback quickly improves map coverage and quality
We're looking for someone who has:
- 3+ years of experience in HD map production, geospatial data operations, or a closely related field in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or mobility
- Demonstrated experience leading or coordinating a team of technical contributors — you don't need a formal management title, but you know how to organize people around a shared workflow
- Strong understanding of HD map data formats (e.g., OpenDRIVE, NDS, or proprietary lane-level map schemas) and annotation pipelines to label map elements
- Experience working with point cloud data, 3D visualization environments, or lidar-based annotation tools
- Familiarity with simulation environments (e.g., CARLA, LGSVL, or internal sim stacks) and how map data feeds into sim validation
- Experience analyzing field reports or sensor data to identify map quality issues
- Comfort with data tooling — SQL, C++, Python, QGIS, or similar — for pulling reports, querying map data, and building dashboards. AI skills a strong plus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate technical issues clearly for both specialists and cross-functional partners
- Organized, calm under pressure, and energized by the pace of production operations.
Nice to have:
- Experience with LiDAR point clouds and camera-based feature extraction
- Experience with standard definition (SD) street network data
- Background in AV safety operations or working alongside safety drivers
- Familiarity with JIRA or similar tools for tracking production backlogs and Slack for real time communication
- Prior experience defining or improving QA/QC standards in a mapping team
- Confident working across time zones
