Job description

About Zoox

Zoox is an autonomous ridehailing company building the world's first purpose-built robotaxi — fully electric, bidirectional, with no steering wheel or driver's seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible, Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. We're currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Austin and Miami on the horizon, and testing underway across seven U.S. markets.

About Our Contract Student Worker Program

Zoox's contract student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. We're looking for students who bring strong academic foundations, curiosity that doesn't stop at coursework, and a drive to be part of something that matters.


Role Overview

Zoox is bringing its robotaxi service to cities across the US. Every new city needs depots to house and maintain the fleet, and pickup/dropoff locations at the places riders want to go most: hotels, airports, stadiums and event venues. In this role, you will own and grow the internal web tools that coordinate this rollout, giving teams a single, clear view of every site from planning to launch.


Responsibilities
  • Own the expansion-tracking web tools end to end, from feature request to release
  • Build new views, dashboards, and workflows that help teams launch new cities and bring service to high-profile airports, venues, and hotels
  • Develop and extend integrations with Jira so project status stays accurate and up to date
  • Partner with operations and engineering teams to understand their needs and turn them into features
  • Keep the tools reliable and easy to use as the number of sites grows

    • Required Qualifications
  • Proficiency in Python and JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
  • Experience working with REST APIs
  • Comfortable with Git and code review
  • Self-starter who takes ownership and works well independently
  • Clear written and verbal communication

    • Bonus Qualifications
  • Experience building web apps or dashboards end to end
  • Familiarity with Jira or similar project-tracking tools
  • Experience deploying web services
  • Data visualization experience
  • Interest in autonomous vehicles, operations, or scaling a product to new markets

    • Program Requirements
  • Comfortable with Git and code review
  • Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. program in a relevant discipline.
  • Self-starter who takes ownership and works well independently
  • Available to commit to a minimum three-month assignment.
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • Able to commit a minimum of 20 hours per week.
  • Able to work on-site at one of our office locations.
  • Must adhere with Zoox confidentiality requirements, including refraining from using or sharing proprietary company information outside of Zoox, such as in academic research, theses, publications, or presentations.

    • We want to be transparent: this is not an internship. The Contract Student Worker Program is designed to complement your academic experience by providing meaningful, ongoing work alongside your studies. Rather than participating in a cohort-based program, you'll join a team directly and contribute to real projects with real impact. While the program does not include structured intern programming or a pathway to full-time employment, it offers valuable opportunities to learn, develop new skills, and gain hands-on experience in a professional environment.

    Compensation for this role is $30/hour.

    This is a contract position; employment will be through a vendor contracted with Zoox. The hourly rate is as posted, and benefits eligibility is determined by the vendor.
