About the role
- Zoox is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for Continuous Deployment to own the reliability and operational excellence of their deployment platform.
- This role involves building and owning the paved path for continuous delivery and creating a trustworthy safety net.
- You will work cross-functional with application teams and SRE to move services onto the paved path.
Responsibilities
- 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
Requirements
- 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
- 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
Preferred qualifications
- Harness preferred; ArgoCD, Spinnaker or other relevant systems
- Building a multi-tenant internal platform that many teams depend on
- Experience migrating many teams off a legacy system onto a new one
