Job Description

The Operational Tools software team at Zoox is seeking a Senior/Staff Software Engineer to help architect and build the critical systems that power our autonomous ride-sharing service. This team operates at the intersection of autonomy, operations, and user experience—owning the tools that enable safe, reliable, and scalable fleet operations at production level.

In this role, you’ll go beyond implementation to drive technical direction, shape system architecture, and influence cross-functional strategy. You’ll partner closely with product, design, QA, and operations to deliver robust, full-stack solutions spanning fleet monitoring, in-vehicle visualization, and real-time ride operations. You’ll also play a key role in mentoring engineers, raising engineering standards, and guiding complex projects from concept through deployment.

Your work will have a direct and visible impact on both the day-to-day performance and long-term evolution of Zoox’s autonomous platform. This is an opportunity to solve deeply complex, real-world problems while helping define how autonomous mobility operates at scale.

If you thrive in high-ownership environments, enjoy leading through ambiguity, and want to shape the future of autonomous systems, this role offers both scope and impact.

Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We’re looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
