Gatik is in the business of autonomous freight, and that business is already on the road.
Every day, Gatik’s autonomous trucks move freight for Fortune 50 retailers, grocers and consumer brands across Texas, Arizona, Arkansas and Canada, connecting distribution centers and stores and keeping goods moving. At the heart of it all is the Gatik Driver™, our proprietary Level 4 autonomous driving system, powered by scalable, interpretable AI and engineered to deliver safe, reliable, high-frequency freight operations.
Gatik’s momentum is real. With more than $600 million in contracted revenue and $200 million raised in our August 2026 Series D round, Gatik has taken one of the toughest challenges in autonomous technology and turned it into a proven commercial business.
And the market is paying attention. In 2026, Gatik earned a place on Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers list, and the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. The Gatik Driver™ won an Edison Award for Advancements in Autonomous Driving, and Inc. named our Co-founder and Chief Engineer, Apeksha Kumavat, to its Female Founders 500 list.
There's a lot more road ahead, and some of the brightest, most driven minds in autonomous technology are building the next chapter at Gatik. We're taking on hard engineering problems, pushing the limits of what's possible and building on a commercial foundation that's already proven itself in the real world with some of the biggest companies in the world, like PepsiCo and Loblaw. If you're ambitious, love solving problems that matter and want to see your work make a real difference, you'll find plenty to get excited about here.
About the Team
Scaling our machine learning models with data and fast infrastructure is central to how Gatik’s autonomy stack keeps improving. The Scalable ML team builds the data generation, curation, orchestration, and distributed training infrastructure that lets our ML developers work efficiently with large volumes of real-world fleet data and simulated driving scenarios. The team sits at the intersection of ML Platform, Jobs Platform, Cloud Platform, and High Performance Computing, and partners closely with Gatik’s autonomy, simulation, safety, and data teams.
About the Role
As a Senior or Staff engineer on Scalable ML, you’ll design and build the systems that turn raw driving data from Gatik’s fleet into high-quality training and evaluation sets, run training and evaluation reliably at scale, and give engineers the metrics and tools they need to make confident release decisions for driverless operations. At the Staff level, you’ll also set multi-quarter technical direction and act as a technical bridge across teams that don’t report to you.

More about Gatik
Founded in 2017, Gatik has grown into a commercial force in autonomous freight, operating trucks daily in live customer networks across the United States and Canada. We're headquartered in Santa Clara, California, but our impact is felt on the roads and in the supply chains that keep essential goods moving for some of the biggest companies in North America.
Our trucks do some of the most demanding work in freight, running high-frequency, time-sensitive routes between distribution centers and stores, where reliability matters every single day. For our customers, that means more capacity, better service and products arriving where they need to be, when they need to be there.
Behind it all is AI-first technology built from the ground up for autonomous trucking, capable of navigating highways and surface streets and tackling the complexity of real-world logistics at scale.
