Zoox isn’t an updated car–it’s a whole new form of transportation–designed for AI to drive, and humans to enjoy. In this role, you will lead a team that develops the software that powers a unique and premium vehicle experience that delights our riders.


The Vehicle Experience team is responsible for the software that manages the ride state and orchestrates the rider experience–audio, lighting, vehicle controls and even the infotainment tablets. The software is authored in C++ and runs on the vehicle under resource constraints. The roadmap features impactful projects like streaming music, rider personalization, situational awareness and rider voice control, while consistently working to raise the performance, reliability and quality bar.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead your engineering team, create a vision for where you want them to go and a strategy for how to get there.
  • Grow your engineering team, push them with new challenges and support them as needed.
  • Collaborate with your cross-functional partners in Product Management, Experience Design, Quality Assurance and Technical Program Management to develop and execute an impactful roadmap.
  • Partner with your engineering peers in UI, cloud, mobile apps, security and hardware engineering to design and build delightful and engaging end-to-end products and experiences.
  • Be curious, ask questions, understand the context of past decisions, while pushing your team, platform and technology forward.

Required Qualifications

  • Demonstrated ability to manage a high-performing software engineering team, including effective hiring and career development.
  • Hands-on experience developing applications in C++, Java, Python, or similar languages.
  • Expertise in software design and architecture of complex systems, managing resource constraints and ensuring system reliability.
  • Track record of collaborating with product management to drive ideas from inception to delivery.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a history of providing technical leadership and support to other teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of robotics, automotive, or embedded device software 
  • Experience managing contractors and vendors
