Zoox is building a purpose-built autonomous robotaxi, and every line of autonomous driving software must be compiled, tested, and validated reliably at scale before reaching the road. You'll join the team owning the build infrastructure that makes this possible: maintaining and evolving a Bazel-based build system in a large, multi-language monorepo used by hundreds of engineers.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Continuous Deployment team, you will take ownership of the deployment platform supporting safety-critical autonomous vehicle software. The role involves configuring and upgrading compilers, profiling and optimizing build pipelines, and serving as the primary expert for build-related inquiries across the organization. While Zoox has established a robust foundation using Bazel in a monorepo with a remote build farm and cache, the goal is to elevate this into a world-class development experience.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the reliability and operational excellence of the deployment platform
- Build and own the paved path for continuous delivery, and own the safety net that makes the platform trustworthy
- Work cross-functionally with application teams and SRE to move services onto the paved path, turning recurring friction into platform capability rather than one-off support
- Set the technical bar for how code is shipped safely to production, and mentor engineers around you
- Profile and optimize build speeds, empowering developers through metrics and advanced tooling
You will be a key contributor in a fast-paced culture, with strong curiosity for optimization and a commitment to enabling developer productivity.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience in platform, infrastructure, or production operations
- Hands-on experience with a continuous deployment system in a large organization (Harness preferred; ArgoCD, Spinnaker, or other relevant systems)
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container-based deployments
- Expertise with programming languages such as Python, Go, or Bash
- Expertise with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Helm
- Excellent customer-facing skills: turning fuzzy problems into concrete plans with measurable outcomes, driving delivery, and onboarding customers
- Judgment to pick the problem worth solving; ability to self-direct when the problem statement is not yet written, and distinguish loud requests from high-impact ones
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience building a multi-tenant internal platform that many teams depend on
- Experience migrating many teams off a legacy system onto a new one
