- Evaluate the current suite of development tools and, when necessary, design and implement proprietary tools to enhance the developer experience and address unique challenges faced by our teams.
- Work closely with both software development teams and infrastructure teams to understand the specific needs and constraints of the system, ensuring the best solutions for our autonomous vehicle software.
- Create and maintain detailed documentation for implemented tools and practices, ensuring that every member of the team can understand and follow them without hitches.
- Keep abreast of the latest in development and infrastructure trends and technologies, integrating them where applicable to ensure that Zoox stays on the cutting edge.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with 5+ 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, Kotlin, or C++.
- Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and understanding of cloud-native development practices.
Bonus Qualifications
- Past experience in a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) or DevOps role
- Familiarity with a variety of logging, monitoring, and continuous deployment tools.
