Job Summary
The Software Systems Infrastructure team is responsible for aiding the Software Systems organization with all its internal tooling needs development processes and ensuring that all safety-critical software meets a high safety bar for production vehicles. We are a fullstack high-paced software engineering team.
In this role you will be a technical lead for a tool called Geofencer - Zooxs geospatial platform for defining where and how our autonomous vehicles operate. Geofencer is the system of record for geofences road-network annotations pickup/dropoff zones and released Plans of Record that flow directly to the fleet making it one of the highest-leverage tools at the company: a change made in this application changes where robotaxis drive in the real world. You will own architecture and delivery across the full stack from an interactive map-editing frontend to geospatial backend services and release pipelines working closely with mapping autonomy operations and safety teams. As a team lead youll take technical ownership for the whole system including delivery of features set technical direction drive quality and correctness in a safety-critical domain and mentor engineers across the team.
- Lead the design and development of Geofencer across the stack: a React/TypeScript single-page application with rich interactive map editing ( Mapbox) and Python backend services (FastAPI SQLAlchemy/GeoAlchemy2 Celery) on PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
- Own core geospatial data workflows: versioned geofence editing road-network annotation drivable-area computation and connectivity validation and the Plan of Record release process that publishes operational constraints to the fleet.
- Integrate with the broader Zoox ecosystem: the Zoox Road Network (ZRN) map graph S3 artifact pipelines downstream fleet and mission systems and ML-assisted annotation workflows.
- Operate production infrastructure: Bazel builds Docker/Kubernetes deployment observability (Grafana Sentry OpenTelemetry) and CI/CD and whip up quick scripts and tools to automate tasks data migrations bulk annotation operations metrics generation.
- Drive cross-functional alignment with operations mapping and autonomy stakeholders; translate ambiguous operational needs into scalable technical solutions; and mentor engineers on the team.
- Bachelors degree in an engineering mathematics or related field
- 10 years of industry experience building and operating production fullstack systems on large code bases
- Strong proficiency in fullstack development: Python backend services (FastAPI/Flask/Django or similar) React with TypeScript/JavaScript (ideally for data-heavy or visualization-intensive UIs) relational databases async/task-queue architectures and scripting/automation (Python shell)
- Experience with Linux cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar) containerized deployment build systems version control testing methodologies and CI/CD
- Demonstrated technical leadership: driving multi-quarter projects setting architectural direction and mentoring engineers
Experience with geospatial systems: PostGIS GDAL/Shapely/Turf map rendering libraries ( Mapbox GL Leaflet) or road-network/graph data models and building map-based web applications or GIS tooling with safety-critical systems
Robotics automotive or aerospace software experience
Familiarity with ML-assisted data pipelines (e.g. VLM-based annotation or labeling workflows)
