Steps to get this job

1Lead your resume with specific examples of cutting CI build times or costs at scale, with numbers if you have them
2Mirror the posting's language: mention 'monorepo,' 'CI reliability,' and 'platform-level' fixes explicitly in your summary or cover letter
3If you've worked cross-team on shared infrastructure (not just your own team's pipeline), call that out directly since Zoox emphasizes cross-functional impact
4Ask in the interview process about current build times, team size on CI, and what 'success' looks like in 6 months, since the posting doesn't specify these

Zoox is an Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle company building purpose-built robotaxis (no steering wheel or pedals), headquartered in Foster City, CA, with testing also happening in San Francisco and Las Vegas. It was acquired by Amazon in 2020 for $1.3 billion and had roughly 1,000 employees as of a 2024 layoff report, likely more now as it approaches paid commercial robotaxi service.

About the role

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.
