Zoox's Robot Software Infrastructure team is seeking a passionate software engineer to help develop Robot software and infrastructure to advance the common performant operating system that powers several devices on our vehicle including Autonomy systems. This team develops platform-level software and services, including operating systems that enable complex, hardware-accelerated workloads critical for autonomous driving on automotive-grade hardware. We work closely with cross-functional teams—including application software engineering, release management, hardware engineering, manufacturing and operations—to support vehicle development and deployment at scale. If you are excited to explore a wide problem space and are mindful of how components fit within a larger system, you may be a great fit! In this role, you will: Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end continuous integration and validation toolchains for the operating system platform that powers various on-bot devices and applications on the Robotaxi Architect and implement platform-level software to support robust and scalable robot software infrastructure Configure and manage embedded Linux build systems (e.g., Yocto) and bootloader processes (e.g., U-Boot) to ensure reliable system startup and maintenance Develop and optimize device drivers and kernel-space components using C, C++, or Rust to meet performance and reliability requirements Collaborate cross-functionally to support seamless integration and delivery of the OS platform, triage issues, support new hardware bring-up and manufacturing functions Qualifications: 8+ years delivering production systems and software applications Designed and deployed end-to-end continuous integration and validation toolchains to verify Linux/OS images for production software releases supporting different hardware platforms Proficiency in Linux internals, including init systems, containerization,

Zoox is developing state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle software for our purpose-built robotaxi. We believe that developing this end-to-end product will not only help us scale our services but will also result in a superior customer experience. In this role, you will own the continuous integration systems that every software engineer at Zoox depends on. More than a thousand engineers depend on it every day, running thousands of CI builds every weekday against one of the largest monorepos in the industry. Our goal is to run them fast, reliably, and cost-efficiently as both the codebase and the organization grow. You will work cross-functionally with various software teams as a force multiplier, finding where the build is slow or wasteful and fixing it at the platform level. This is a critical role to squash inefficiencies in our development process, improve the development experience for everyone in the software organization, and ultimately help us scale our autonomous vehicle fleet to more riders and more cities. In this role, you will: Own CI performance, cost efficiency, and reliability end-to-end, at thousands of builds a day and growing Rethink CI failure analysis, triage, developer support, and incident response with modern AI tools, shifting first-line work off human on-call Work cross-functionally to find where integration slows down and fix it at the platform level, and enable teams to make their CI efficient and reliable Set the technical bar for how CI is built and operated, and mentor the engineers around you Qualifications 5+ years of software engineering and programming experience, including significant experience in platform, infrastructure, or developer tooling Hands-on experience operating a distributed CI system at scale, Buildkite preferred; Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar Working familiarity with a modern build system such as

The Opportunity Zoox's mission is to build a purpose-built robotaxi that gives the world a better way to ride. Every line of that autonomous driving software has to be compiled, tested, and validated reliably at scale before it ever reaches the road. You'll join the team that owns the build infrastructure making that possible: maintaining and evolving our Bazel-based build system in a large, multi-language monorepo used by hundreds of engineers. As a key contributor, you will take ownership of the build ecosystem supporting our rapidly expanding, safety-critical autonomous vehicle software. This role entails configuring and upgrading compilers, profiling and optimizing build pipelines, and serving as the primary expert for all build-related inquiries. While we have established a robust foundation using Bazel in a monorepo along with a remote build farm and cache, our goal is to elevate this into a world-class development experience. We are searching for a passionate engineer with a strong curiosity for optimizing build speeds and a commitment to empowering developers through metrics and advanced tooling within our fast-paced culture. In this role, you will: Own and evolve the core Bazel build ecosystem that every engineer at Zoox relies on to compile code and run tests Directly accelerate engineering velocity by minimizing Bazel overhead, streamlining incremental builds to reduce iteration times, and working with our vendor Engflow to optimize our RBE platform Develop custom Bazel rules and tooling (via Starlark) that abstract complexity so product teams can focus on autonomy problems, not build friction Integrate software quality tools into our build system and development workflow (code coverage, static/dynamic analysis, include-what-you-use) Build tools and dashboards to empower developers to ship better software faster Qualifications Bachelor's degree in an engineering, mathematics, or related field and 8+ year

The Software Systems Engineering team is responsible for defining SW development processes and ensuring that all safety-critical software meets a high safety bar for production vehicles. In this role, you will design and implement methodologies, tools, and processes for safety-critical software that will revolutionize transportation in the 21st century. Borrowing principles from avionics, automotive, and other safety-critical industries, you will work with software engineers throughout the Zoox software org, ranging from state-of-the-art AI Autonomy software, all the way to highly-critical RTOS and middleware components. In this role, you will: Be the go-to owner for the entire SSE pipeline ecosystem — from ClangTidy, ASAN/TSAN/Harden, and FBInfer — keeping every pipeline running smoothly across weekly, nightly, and CI so the rest of the org can trust the results. Take pipelines from prototypes to fully deployed, CI-enforced systems across branches, shaping how "production-grade" looks for stability tooling at Zoox. Turn raw issue data into dashboards and KPIs that tell a story — giving leadership and engineering teams a clear, real-time pulse on pipeline health and software quality trends. Play detective when things break — root-causing gnarly cross-platform and determinism, building the instrumentation and tooling to crack them. Help shape what's next for the pipeline suite — pitching in on new checker rollouts, testing strategy, and define how SSE scales its infrastructure Qualifications: Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, aerospace, or r
