# Senior Frontend Engineer at Avride

- **Company:** Avride
- **Location:** Austin, TX
- **Posted:** 2026-05-05
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-04
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/avride/jobs/4240133009

## Job description

## About the team

We’re a fast-moving team of engineers building the Remote Control system that powers teleoperation and fleet management for autonomous cars and delivery robots. Our tools enable operators to assist vehicles in complex urban environments via real-time video, map-based navigation, and custom interfaces optimized for low-latency decision-making. We care about performance, reliability, and thoughtful UX design — all in service of safe and scalable autonomy operations.

## About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us push the boundaries of what real-time web interfaces can do. You’ll be responsible for developing the operator-facing frontend of our Remote Control stack - the live command center that humans use to assist cars and robots in the wild.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your work directly shapes how autonomy operates at scale.

## What you'll do

- Build and maintain low-latency, real-time interfaces for controlling autonomous cars and robots
- Architect robust React applications that integrate live video feeds, real-time maps, and interactive controls for navigation and remote assistance
- Optimize for operator efficiency: keyboard workflows, high-res layouts, fast feedback loops
- Collaborate with backend, robotics, and UX teams to shape APIs and flows for reliability under edge conditions
- Ship fast, iterate often, and deliver responsive, intuitive tools that support autonomous vehicle operations

## What you'll need

- Strong React and TypeScript skills — proven track record building fast, maintainable apps
- Real-time mindset — experience working with websockets, live data, or streaming video is a plus
- UI intuition — you care about interface design and performance, and you know how to debug slow or janky UIs
- System thinking — you know how frontend fits into the bigger picture, and you write code that holds up under load

## Nice to have

- Experience with WebRTC, low-latency video, or socket-based architectures
- Familiarity with telemetry, maps, or robotics/vehicle systems
- Basic Python or Go skills for debugging backend issues

## About Avride

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Avride is a developer of autonomous vehicle and delivery robot technology, providing self-driving taxi and last-mile delivery services in partnership with Uber.
- **Entity Type**: Private (subsidiary of Nebius Group)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States (additional offices in Tel Aviv, Israel; Belgrade, Serbia; Seoul, South Korea)
- **Founded**: 2020 (as a spin-off from Yandex’s self-driving car group, which began development in 2017)
- **Founders**: Originated from Yandex’s autonomous driving team; individual founders are not named publicly.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Vehicular automation, autonomous mobility, and last-mile delivery robotics.
- **Target customers**: B2B (ride-hail platforms like Uber, automotive OEMs like Hyundai), B2C (riders using robotaxis via Uber app), and enterprise (restaurants and retailers using delivery robots through Uber Eats).
- **Mission**: To make roads safer and more sustainable by deploying autonomous technology that never tires, gets distracted, or breaks rules.

## Products & Services
- **Robotaxi Service**: Autonomous taxi fleet (based on retrofitted Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles) operating in a nine-square-mile area of downtown Dallas, bookable via the Uber app. As of April 2026, Avride has 200 robotaxis in service.
- **Delivery Robots**: Sidewalk robots that travel at 8 km/h (5 mph), equipped with lidars, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors. Currently delivering Uber Eats orders in Austin, Dallas, and Jersey City. Over 600,000 deliveries completed to date.
- **Autonomous Driver Platform**: A universal driving system (hardware and software) that can be adapted to different vehicle types, including passenger cars and delivery robots, leveraging shared technology for continuous improvement.
- **Proprietary Hardware**: Custom lidars, cameras, and computational hardware designed in-house to enhance performance and redundancy.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$425M** across two rounds:
  - $50M convertible note (September 2020)
  - $375M venture round (October 2025) — 2 investors.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Nebius Group (parent company); strategic partners include **Uber** (robotaxi and delivery integration) and **Hyundai** (robotaxi development partnership).
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount of **283 employees** (+75.4% year-over-year).
  - 13,541 LinkedIn followers (+80.3% annual growth).
  - Over 250,000 customers have used services powered by Avride technology.
  - Expanded from initial testing in Austin and Seoul to live commercial operations in Dallas, Jersey City, and South Korea.
  - NHTSA logged 37 accidents involving Avride vehicles (as of March 2026) and opened a safety probe in May 2026 — a sign of regulatory scrutiny that often accompanies scaling autonomous fleets.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proven real‑world deployment**: Operating robotaxis and delivery robots in dense urban environments across the U.S. and South Korea.
- **Unified technology stack**: The same autonomous software and hardware power both cars and delivery robots, enabling cross‑learning and faster iteration.
- **Strong partnership ecosystem**: Exclusive tie‑ups with Uber (rideshare and delivery) and Hyundai (OEM collaboration) provide immediate go‑to‑market channels.
- **In‑house hardware**: Custom sensors and compute units reduce dependency on third‑party suppliers and optimize performance for specific platforms.
- **Safety‑first philosophy**: 360‑degree perception, redundant systems, and thousands of hours of simulation and real‑world testing.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling robotaxi operations**: Expanding the Dallas service area and launching in additional U.S. cities in 2026–2027.
- **Deepening OEM partnerships**: Collaborating with Hyundai on next‑generation robotaxis.
- **Broadening delivery robot coverage**: Entering new markets with Uber Eats, including potential international expansion.
- **Growing the engineering team**: Actively hiring for roles in software, hardware, simulation, and operations (14 open positions as of mid‑2026).

## Why Work Here
- **Cutting‑edge autonomy**: Solve some of the hardest problems in perception, planning, and real‑time control for both cars and robots.
- **Large, experienced team**: Over 200 engineers, many from Yandex’s pioneering autonomous driving group, with deep domain knowledge.
- **Fast‑paced, high‑impact environment**: Work on technology used by hundreds of thousands of real customers.
- **Global presence**: Offices in Austin (HQ), Tel Aviv, Belgrade, and Seoul offer opportunities for international collaboration.
- **Culture of ownership**: Flat structure with small cross‑functional teams; engineers own features end‑to‑end.
- **Work policy**: Not explicitly stated, but roles span on‑site (operations), hybrid, and remote‑friendly positions depending on function.
