Zoox’s Robot Software Infrastructure (RSI) team is seeking an enthusiastic and skilled manager to lead at least two critical functions: OS Platforms and Configuration Management. This team develops platform-level software and services, including operating systems that enable complex, hardware-accelerated workloads critical for autonomous driving on automotive-grade hardware.

We work closely with cross-functional teams—including developers, release management, and operations—to support vehicle development and deployment at scale.

Example challenges
How does a vehicle determine what to do when it wakes up?How can a fleet decide which software to install or update for a 24/7 ride-share mission?

Our team tackles these challenges by designing and building services like runtime configuration systems and tools that ensure seamless operation and updates across the entire vehicle fleet. If you’re passionate about solving complex problems and have a strong understanding of how components fit into a broader robot-taxi ecosystem, this is the team for you!

In this role, you’ll lead a growing team that is responsible for:

  • Developing and maintaining Zoox’s custom operating system.
  • Selecting, configuring, and updating kernels and device drivers, including GPU drivers.
  • Building and maintaining platform services (backend and frontend), OS build tools, and installation tools.
  • Managing software build and authorization systems.
  • Designing and implementing in-field update mechanisms and OS validation plans.
  • Developing startup time and runtime auditing, and control mechanisms for software and hardware configurations across vehicle fleets.
  • Overseeing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and continuous integration (CI) infrastructure.

  • Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience managing teams delivering production-level software.
  • Strong experience in cross-functional project management.
  • Solid understanding of operating system internals.
  • Expertise in Linux, including build systems (e.g., Yocto), bootloaders, init systems, containerization, filesystems, networking, and device drivers.
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals and the client-server model.
  • Experience in designing, developing, and deploying large-scale platform-level services and software solutions (both backend and frontend).
  • Proficiency in C or C++ and scripting languages like Python.
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Expertise in GPU hardware and software architecture.
  • Experience with robotics or autonomous driving technologies.
  • Graduate degree in Computer Science or a closely related field.
  • Compensation
    There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary range for this position is $210,000 to $303,000. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. 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
    Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We’re looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
