The Developer Experience team at Zoox is dedicated to improving the process of developing autonomy software, services, and applications.

  • Build tools that aim to improve engineer productivity by 10x through intelligent code assistance, automated code review, and context-aware documentation generation
  • Develop systems to automate mundane development tasks like boilerplate generation, test creation, and code refactoring
  • Create intelligent workflows that leverage LLMs for bug detection, security vulnerability assessment, and code optimization
  • Bridge the divide between developers' needs and infrastructure solutions while establishing best practices for responsible AI integration in our development pipeline

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with 3+ years of industry experience.
  • Solid experience as a full-stack or backend developer, showcasing a deep understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Fluency in at least one of the following languages: Python or C++.
  • Experience with LLM evaluation metrics and performance optimization
  • Knowledge of using embedding models and vector databases

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience working with IDEs and LSPs
  • Experience developing and/or integrating debuggers with build systems
  • Experience managing and optimizing large monolithic repositories, including build systems, version control workflows, and developer tooling
