At Zoox, we’re not just building self-driving cars; we’re creating an autonomous ride-hailing service that will revolutionize how people move. Our Ops Tools team is the central nervous system of this mission, and we’re looking for a Senior/Staff Software Engineer to be a technical leader in this critical area. This isn’t just another full-stack role.
You’ll be at the intersection of web development, robotics, and real-time operations, building the software that allows us to manage and scale our fleet of autonomous robotaxis. If you’re a seasoned engineer who thrives on solving complex, multi-disciplinary problems and wants to see your work have a tangible impact on the world, we want to hear from you.
