Senior Software Engineer, Continuous Deployment
The Opportunity Zoox's mission is to build a purpose-built robotaxi that gives the world a better way to ride. Every line of that autonomous driving software has to be compiled, tested, and validated reliably at scale before it ever reaches the road. You'll join the team that owns the build infrastructure making that possible: maintaining and evolving our Bazel-based build system in a large, multi-language monorepo used by hundreds of engineers. As a key contributor, you will take ownership of the build ecosystem supporting our rapidly expanding, safety-critical autonomous vehicle software. This role entails configuring and upgrading compilers, profiling and optimizing build pipelines, and serving as the primary expert for all build-related inquiries. While we have established a robust foundation using Bazel in a monorepo along with a remote build farm and cache, our goal is to elevate this into a world-class development experience. We are searching for a passionate engineer with a strong curiosity for optimizing build speeds and a commitment to empowering developers through metrics and advanced tooling within our fast-paced culture.
In this role, you will: Own the reliability and operational excellence of our deployment platform
Build and own the paved path for continuous delivery, and own the safety net that makes the platform trustworthy
Work cross-functionally with application teams and SRE to move services onto the paved path, turning recurring friction into platform capability rather than one-off support
Set the technical bar for how code is shipped safely to production, and mentor the engineers around you
Qualifications 5+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience in platform, infrastructure, or production operations
Hands-on experience with a continuous deployment system in a large organization, Harness preferred; ArgoCD, Spinnaker or other relevant systems
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container-based deployments
Expertise with programming languages like Python, Go, or Bash, and with "infrastructure as code" tools like Terraform and Helm
Excellent customer-facing skills, turning fuzzy problems into concrete plans with measurable outcomes, driving delivery, and onboarding customers
Judgment to pick the problem worth solving — you self-direct when the problem statement has not been written yet, and can tell a loud request from a high-impact one
Bonus Qualifications Building a multi-tenant internal platform that many teams depend on
Experience migrating many teams off a legacy system onto a new one
