Senior Software Engineer - Tools Integration

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 robot software meets a high bar for safety and stability in production vehicles. We are a high-paced software engineering team.

In this role, you will help establish infrastructure, design and develop software tools that will automate, track or audit processes and methods needed to build safety-critical software that will revolutionize transportation in the 21st century. Borrowing principles from avionics, automotive, and other safety-critical industries, you will work with software, systems and firmware engineers across the Zoox software organization, ranging from state-of-the-art AI Perception, all the way to highly-critical RTOS and middleware components.

You will work on exciting projects like building tools to compute code coverage for large monorepos, integrate third-party static analysis tools like Coverity, Parasoft, and dynamic analysis tools pytest-cov, build CI infrastructure to gate poor-quality code, and more.

In this role you will :

• Design and develop tools and infrastructure to help software teams build, track, and maintain safety-critical code, primarily using Bazel, Python, and backend technologies (e.g., databases, web servers).
• Interface with C++ and Python codebases while integrating third-party static / dynamic analyzers and code quality tools into Zoox's ecosystem.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with application, infrastructure, and safety teams to gather requirements and ensure alignment with high-assurance development practices.
• Maintain and troubleshoot internal tools, while also writing quick automation scripts (e.g., for metrics, traceability) to streamline workflows.
• Embrace an experimental, fail-fast mindset while tackling the unique challenges of building complex, safety-critical software for autonomous vehicles.
