Job Description

We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.

We’re building the world’s most advanced, self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.

Cruisers have the opportunity to grow and develop while learning from leaders at the forefront of their fields. With a culture of internal mobility, there's an opportunity to thrive in a variety of disciplines. This is a place for dreamers and doers to succeed.

If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, join us.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, including interacting with the public
  • Satisfy the legal requirements to become an AV Test Operator (13 CCR § 227.34), including being licensed to drive a motor vehicle in the U.S. for the three years immediately preceding your application, currently holding an active California Basic Class C driver's license or license encompassing Class C vehicles, and no more than one point on driving record
  • Successfully complete a background check, drug screen and DMV Motor Vehicle Record check
  • Ability to drive and/or ride in vehicle alternating roles for up to eight hours/day
  • Ability to remain alert and extremely focused for uninterrupted blocks of time
  • Accurately type and read on a laptop or tablet in a moving vehicle
  • Ability to give and receive clear, prompt, and understandable verbal and written communications
  • High attention to detail

  • Regularly perform physical work including, but not limited to, stooping, lifting, and moving up to 30 pounds, and walking up and down flights of stairs

The above physical demands describe the general nature of work being performed of the role, and are not intended to be an exhaustive list.
