HERE is searching for a Senior Software Engineer for our Foundation Engineering team. Foundation Engineering enables the creation of mapping products that are highly available, performant, and near real-time.

The Senior Software Engineer will be a contributor on the team to deliver digital maps to major automakers, for e.g. BMWs, VWs, Audi, Daimler. You will work on a technology to collect and process road information from many sources, terabytes of data, including car sensors from millions of cars on the road. Our services convert this input into a digital map which is delivered back to the cars and used for navigation, driver assistance and even autonomous driving.

Developers building new services will rapidly launch their differentiated prototypes leveraging templates that enforce security, availability, and efficiency best-practices with a minimal collection of service-specific libraries
