## About Zoox

## About the role

At Zoox, the release teams handle the complex orchestration of releases spanning vehicle, cloud, and client code bases. From first commit to full production, our mission is to make every release predictable, transparent, and fast. We build the tooling and automation that improves the release lifecycle for our own teams and for teams across Zoox. We are seeking a technical expert in version control, continuous integration, and build systems who is equally comfortable driving a release end to end and engineering the systems that streamline it. You will work closely with our customers, from the teams whose components we release to the downstream consumers of each build, translating their needs into a better release experience and serving as a force multiplier within our team and beyond.

##### In this role, you will:

- Own the end-to-end release process for a portfolio of vehicle software components, from branch cut through validation, hotfixes, and deployment to production

- Coordinate release readiness across integration, QA, and component teams, tracking readiness indicators and securing the approvals that confirm each release is production-ready

- Build and scale automation that removes manual release work, from branch management and merge workflows to release visibility and metrics

- Partner closely with our customers, the teams whose components we release and the downstream consumers of each build, turning their needs into process improvements

- Multiply the impact of release teams across Zoox by turning what works into shared tooling and practices, accelerating how quickly software reaches the fleet

##### Qualifications:

- 3-5 years of experience in release engineering, build engineering, or release management for large, complex software products

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering or computer science, or equivalent experience

- Proficiency with Git, including branch management and conflict resolution

- Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines with tools such as Buildkite, Jenkins, or Bamboo

- Programming experience in Python or another scripting language, including automating release or build workflows

- Excellent communication skills and ability to quickly adapt to changes

##### Bonus Qualifications:

- Experience with Bazel

- Experience releasing embedded, firmware, or safety-critical software

- Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure
