Zoox is building the world's most advanced self-driving hardware and software solution, and nearly every part of it depends on moving data reliably. Sensor frames to perception, planner decisions to vehicle controls, telemetry to the cloud, and remote operator video back down again. All of it crosses process, host, and network boundaries under hard latency and reliability budgets, on a vehicle that has to keep working when a link degrades or a network gets congested.
The Middleware Transport team owns that data path end to end: in-vehicle messaging (pub/sub, RPC, inter-process and inter-host transport), the vehicle's internal network, and vehicle-to-cloud connectivity. It also owns the transport and serialization abstractions the rest of the software organization builds on. Every one of those paths crosses a team boundary, so the work happens alongside firmware, product security, simulation, manufacturing, and IT, and those partners rely on this team for transport and networking depth to achieve their goals. As the team leader you will own the roadmap and the release commitments, and you will spend a real share of your time in those partnerships.
Own the roadmap, staffing, and release commitments across the team's messaging, in-vehicle network, and cloud connectivity work.
Lead and grow a team of software engineers, run their performance and promotion cycles, and hire into the gaps.
Represent the team in cross-functional programs across firmware, product security, simulation, fleet operations, and infrastructure, and build the relationships that keep shared work moving.
Set the technical bar. Make the architecture calls stick, and make sure the abstractions the team ships are ones other teams want to build on.
Balance interrupt-driven reliability work against long-horizon architecture, and be explicit with partners about the tradeoff.
Here is what this employer asked for. Sign in and we will fill in your half.
Zoox, an Amazon subsidiary, develops an autonomous ride-hailing service and a purpose-built electric robotaxi. Rather than adapting a conventional car, it designed a bidirectional vehicle around autonomous operation, passenger use, and dense urban mobility. The company develops the vehicle, autonomous-driving software, sensing, simulation, fleet systems, and rider experience as one integrated service. Zoox is progressing from testing toward commercial robotaxi operations with safety and controlled deployment at the center of its approach.
