At bliq.ai, we are building a real driverless vehicle from scratch: on public roads, with real safety requirements.
We’re looking for an engineer who wants to help define and ship the next generation of autonomous driving. Because we own the full stack, from sensors to AI to vehicle actuation, you’ll have the freedom to explore and combine whatever approaches deliver the best real-world results: end-to-end models, hybrid AI/robotics architectures, learned planning, classical control, foundation models. We’re not locked into legacy thinking. We ship what works.
Responsibilities:
-
Design, build, test, and ship our autonomous driving stack across perception, scene understanding, sensor fusion, localization, prediction, planning, and vehicle control
-
Develop and deploy AI models for real-world driving on embedded platforms (NVIDIA Jetson)
-
Integrate multi-sensor systems spanning cameras, radar, LiDAR, GNSS/IMU, and vehicle state
-
Connect software with real vehicles through CAN, drive-by-wire, and safety controllers
-
Build infrastructure for data collection, labeling, simulation, replay, and shadow mode testing
-
Debug problems at the intersection of AI, robotics, embedded systems, and vehicle hardware
-
Ship improvements into real vehicles every week
Apply if this describes you:
-
Generalist engineer comfortable moving between ML, robotics, software engineering, and embedded systems
-
You’ve built real systems, not just prototypes or research demos. Any you have taken them from idea to deployment to field test
-
Strong background in one or more of: deep learning, computer vision, sensor fusion, planning and control, localization/SLAM, real-time systems, or GPU optimization
-
Experience with Python, C++, PyTorch, CUDA, TensorRT, ROS2, Linux, Docker, or GStreamer
-
You make good technical decisions with incomplete information and don’t need a perfect spec to get started
-
Experience with Autoware, NVIDIA tooling, or real vehicle deployment is a strong plus
-
Build a real driverless vehicle from scratch. Your code goes into vehicles fast.
-
Help define the architecture, not just implement it
-
Work directly with the founders
-
No politics, no corporate layers, no endless meetings
-
Massive ownership from day one
-
Competitive salary and meaningful equity for exceptional people
-
Based in Berlin, building globally relevant technology
With Bliq, we are working to bring driverless mobility to European cities.
We started out as a ride hailing company and since our launch, have already processed more than 50+ million trip offers from hundreds of thousands of passengers.
Having established a strong presence in 7 markets across Europe, Bliq is now expanding onto the next frontier: to launch a driverless vehicle service from the ground up. After years of technology development and rigourous testing, this expansion marks a significant milestone as we bring our innovative approach to urban mobility to cities worldwide. Backed by a total funding of more than $35m from notable investors such as NEA and Atlantic Labs, Bliq is poised to redefine the future of ride-hailing.
We already have colleagues from a total of 12 countries, a truly international, diverse, and open-minded team. We value teamwork, entrepreneurial spirit, and technology. We work and play equally hard. We've grown 20 times over the past 12 months while improving the lives of thousands of drivers and passengers, and we've got global expansion plans. If you've ever wanted to join a super-star team and change the world for the better, this is your chance. Apply now, let's get to know each other!
