Staff Software Engineer – Cloud & Embedded Systems Configuration
Zoox·Foster City, California
Job functions:
$219k - $263k/yr
8+ yrs exp.
Full Time
1,001-5,000 employees
Job Description
Zoox’s Robot Software Infrastructure team is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help build the core platform services that powers the configuration and runtime settings system across our autonomous vehicle fleet.
Our team develops full-stack systems that manage startup behavior, runtime settings, and software/hardware configuration across vehicles and cities—ensuring safe, consistent operation at scale.
Example Challenges
How should a vehicle determine what to do when it wakes up?
How can a fleet coordinate updates across time zones for 24/7 service?
How do we detect and recover from misconfigurations in runtime?
If you're excited to work on foundational systems that keep a robotaxi fleet running smoothly in the real world, we’d love to talk.
In this role, you will:
- Design and build robust embedded applications and web microservices for the configuration and runtime settings system
- Develop startup-time and runtime auditing/control of software and hardware settings
- Own service architecture that connects vehicle and cloud for dynamic configuration
- Drive technical direction and lead large-scale, cross-team projects with independence and critical thinking
- Collaborate and communicate effectively across cross-functional teams, including vehicle software, tools, and operations, to drive successful project outcomes
Qualifications
- 8+ years of combined experience in device/edge software, cloud systems architecture and development
- Deep experience designing, building, and operating cloud-based microservices and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)
- Proficient in Python, Kotlin or Java, and REST APIs, with familiarity in C++, and proven experience building data pipelines and APIs between cloud and edge devices.
- Strong systems thinking and ability to understand complex, cross-cutting architectures
- Proven track record of steering large-scale projects from initial concept through to successful deployment.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience in robotics, autonomy, or large-scale distributed systems
- Familiarity with vehicle environments, maps, GPS, and OTA updates
Base Salary Range
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position.
Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
About Zoox
