The posting, in Motional's own words
archived Oct 2, 2026As the Principal Engineer & Team Lead for Partner Systems & Integrations within the Fleet Software Platform group in Singapore, you will lead the engineering team responsible for bridging Motional’s autonomous vehicle fleet with global commercial partner networks. Moving beyond internal tool management, you will own the architectural strategy, B2B integration surfaces, and operational reliability of our partner-facing ecosystem. You will lead the effort to streamline integration interfaces and decouple internal tools from core fleet services—and lead an elite team of backend and full-stack software engineers to support 100x commercial scale in driverless operations.
What you'll be doing:
People Leadership & Team Growth : Directly manage, mentor, and grow a team of senior and staff software engineers. Build a high-performance, inclusive engineering culture, manage performance, drive quarterly OKRs, and recruit top engineering talent across Singapore and global time zones. Partner Integration & Ecosystem Ownership : Serve as the primary technical leader and owner for all commercial partner integrations, specifically leading the design, execution, and scaling of core ride-hailing and fleet partner integration surfaces, dispatch messaging, dynamic operational design domain (ODD) synchronization, and trip matching. API-First Architecture : All applications sit atop versioned Fleet Orchestration and Vehicle Control APIs. Enforce clear separation of concerns by ensuring partner-specific business logic remains encapsulated within integration layers without bleeding into core internal platform services. Remote Customer Assistance (RCA) & Telemetry : Architect and scale real-time partner support capabilities, including multi-camera video streaming, real-time two-way audio communication between riders and support agents, and remote vehicle command APIs. Operational Excellence & Partner SLAs : Elevate system reliability to maintain high availability across all external partner endpoints. Implement enterprise-grade observability, automated incident management systems, zero-downtime deployment pipelines, and robust data security and access control standards. Cross-Functional & Partner Leadership: Act as the technical primary point of contact collaborating directly with external partner engineering teams, Product Management, Autonomy, Operations, and internal Developer Platform groups
