  • Collaborate across engineering: You will partner closely with software engineering teams to elevate our system architecture, streamline deployment processes, and drive automation initiatives.

  • Lead incident resolution: You will conduct thorough root cause analyses on production issues and rapidly deploy corrective actions to maintain a resilient and stable environment.

  • Ensure business continuity: You will safeguard the company's operations by designing and implementing robust disaster recovery plans to keep the Zoox fleet running smoothly under any circumstances.

  • Qualifications
  • SRE & Distributed Systems Experience: 5+ years of experience in site reliability engineering or a similar role, with a strong, objective background in managing large-scale distributed systems.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proven experience operating within major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and utilizing IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, Salt, or CloudFormation.

  • Container Orchestration: Technical expertise in deploying, managing, and scaling systems using container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes.

  • Core Infrastructure Knowledge: Deep, foundational understanding of networking protocols, storage solutions, and database technologies.

  • Programming Proficiency: Strong, demonstrable programming and scripting skills in languages such as Python, Go, C/C++, or Java.

  • Experience in the automotive or autonomous vehicle industry.

  • Knowledge of security best practices and compliance requirements.

  • Everything You Need, One Platform.
