Mission Summary:
As a Staff Engineer within the Platform Engineering team, you will be a hands-on technical leader driving the evolution of Motional's global cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Operating as a senior individual contributor, you'll tackle our hardest platform problems directly — designing systems, creating code, and setting technical direction for initiatives that span multiple teams. Your work will help transform our R&D environment into a hardened, cost-efficient, and scalable commercial backbone, and ensure our internal platforms deliver the developer velocity required for rapid AV deployment.
What you'll be doing:
- Design and build major components of our cloud architecture — including networking, storage, compute abstraction layers. You'll own the technical design end-to-end and create code where it matters most
- Drive technical evolution of our Kubernetes-based developer platform. Identify the highest-leverage improvements to scalability, cost attribution, access control, and developer ergonomics — then design and implement them to reduce configuration complexity and accelerate engineering velocity
- Raise the reliability bar across Platform Engineering. Define and implement standards for SLIs, SLOs, observability, and failover, and partner with peer teams to roll them out across platform-layer services
- Drive FinOps practices — cost visibility, attribution, accountability as well as optimization recommendations
- Design and ship AI-native developer experiences by integrating LLM-powered tooling into CI, build systems, monitoring platforms, and local development workflows to remove friction and boost engineering throughput
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 9 years in Software or Infrastructure Engineering, with significant experience in a senior IC capacity
- Deep, expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes internals and ecosystem (Operators (Crossplane, ArgoWorkflow/Airflow, KubeRay), Kubecost/OpenCost, Service Mesh, GitOps and other CNCF projects)
- Proven track record of designing or migrating complex workloads between on-prem data centers and major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, other)
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation, Terraform Cloud/Spacelift/Atlantis) and advanced observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Datadog)
- Expert in architecting AI-driven operations, leveraging LLMs and agentic workflows to automate incident response, predictive scaling, and intelligent system observability
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical roadmaps across an entire engineering organization and mentor senior technical staff
Bonus points (not required):
- Proven expertise in CI/CD orchestration, build systems (Bazel, RBE), frameworks
- Prior experience with large-scale machine learning training pipelines
- Experience leading technical projects in a globally distributed team
- Open-source contributions to Kubernetes, observability, or infrastructure tooling ecosystems

To thrive in this role, you will bring an exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, a consultative mindset focused on business outcomes over technical jargon, and a genuine passion for sustainability and the electrification of commercial fleets.
How you'll make an impact:
-
Develop and maintain comprehensive knowledge of the Geotab ecosystem, serving as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to empower end-users and partners and enhance their understanding of Geotab solutions.
-
Engage and collaborate with partners and end-users to optimize their utilization of Geotab's technology, products, and solutions, tailoring the approach to meet their specific needs.
-
Contribute to the continuous improvement of the company's offerings by providing partner and end-user feedback, providing opportunities to collaborate with Product Management teams.
-
Create and optimize data-driven dashboards for cross-functional use, facilitating informed decision-making and efficient collaboration with a focus on expansion and retention of existing customers.
-
Ensure partner and end-user satisfaction through prompt and accurate service, bolstering internal team support by providing additional insights and know-how.
-
Collaborate with the Geotab revenue generating teams to identify and deliver effective solutions for customer challenges, by working closely with them and their partners, contributing to sales growth, ecosystem expansion and customer retention.
-
Support Geotab's partner upskilling, driving them towards excellence to support customers across unique channels, using best practices, and leveraging a deep understanding of industry verticals.
-
May be involved in developing and implementing proof of concepts. This involves creating a small-scale version of the solution to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness in the customer's environment.
-
Staying updated with industry trends, competitor products, and market demands is crucial. Need to understand the broader landscape in which Geotab operates to position their solutions effectively.
-
