About this role
Role Overview Zoox is bringing its robotaxi service to cities across the US. Every new city needs depots to house and maintain the fleet, and pickup/dropoff locations at the places riders want to go most: hotels, airports, stadiums and event venues. In this role, you will own and grow the internal web tools that coordinate this rollout, giving teams a single, clear view of every site from planning to launch.
Responsibilities • Own the expansion-tracking web tools end to end, from feature request to release
• Build new views, dashboards, and workflows that help teams launch new cities and bring service to high-profile airports, venues, and hotels
• Develop and extend integrations with Jira so project status stays accurate and up to date
• Partner with operations and engineering teams to understand their needs and turn them into features
• Keep the tools reliable and easy to use as the number of sites grows
Required Qualifications • Proficiency in Python and JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Experience working with REST APIs
• Comfortable with Git and code review
• Self-starter who takes ownership and works well independently
• Clear written and verbal communication
Bonus Qualifications • Experience building web apps or dashboards end to end
• Familiarity with Jira or similar project-tracking tools
• Experience deploying web services
• Data visualization experience
• Interest in autonomous vehicles, operations, or scaling a product to new markets
Program Requirements • Comfortable with Git and code review
• Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. program in a relevant discipline.
• Self-starter who takes ownership and works well independently
• Available to commit to a minimum three-month assignment.
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Able to commit a minimum of 20 hours per week.
• Able to work on-site at one of our office locations.
• Must adhere with Zoox confidentiality requirements, including refraining from using or sharing proprietary company information outside of Zoox, such as in academic research, theses, publications, or presentations.
