Zoox is seeking a highly motivated, hands-on AI Engineer to spearhead the end-to-end development and deployment of our Enterprise Gen AI and LLM initiatives. You will serve as the primary technical driver for establishing guard rails, building AI agents and automated workflows that fundamentally transform operations across Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, HR and Marketing.

  • Build and deploy sophisticated intelligent agents capable of complex reasoning, secure tool usage, and autonomous execution of multi-step business workflows.
  • Own the deployment process, including self-healing systems, latency optimization, cost management and robust performance monitoring and alerting in a large-scale enterprise environment.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams (Legal, Finance, HR etc.) to identify operational bottlenecks and translate them into efficient, code-driven AI automation.
  • Implement rigorous standards for security, data privacy and accuracy, ensuring the AI framework to integrate seamlessly with existing corporate infrastructure.

Qualifications:

  • Deep proficiency in Python and frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or AutoGen.
  • Experience with cloud AI services (AWS Bedrock, or Google Vertex AI) and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus or OpenSearch).
  • Experience building agents and AI workflows.
  • Proven ability to translate "business pain" into "technical requirements." 

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Previous experience building AI solutions for corporate functions like Finance, Legal (e.g. contract analysis), HR (e.g. policy retrieval) or Supply Chain (e.g. forecasting efficiency)
  • Familiarity with automated evaluation pipelines like RAGAS, Arize, or other LLM-based evaluation metrics.
  • Experience with techniques such as quantization, speculative decoding, or efficient fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) to improve model performance and reduce inference costs.
  • Previous experience in the autonomous vehicle, robotics or high-tech manufacturing sectors.
