Software Engineer, ML Platform (ML Training)

Zoox is on a mission to reimagine transportation and ground-up build autonomous robotaxis that are safe, reliable, clean, and enjoyable for everyone. We are still in the early stages of deploying our robotaxis on public roads, and it is a great time to join Zoox and have a significant impact in executing this mission. The ML Platform team at Zoox plays a crucial role in enabling innovations in ML and CV to make autonomous driving as seamless as possible. The Opportunity Would you like to be part of the ML Training and Inference Infrastructure team that enables autonomous driving and several other ML use cases at Zoox? You will get to work across all ML teams within Zoox - Perception, Prediction, Planner, Simulation, Data Science, Collision Avoidance, etc. and our Advanced Hardware Engineering group and have the opportunity to significantly push the boundaries of how ML is practiced within Zoox. We build and operate the base layer of ML tools, deep learning frameworks, and inference libraries used by our applied research teams for in- and off-vehicle ML use cases. You will play a crucial role in reducing the time it takes from ideation to productionization of cutting-edge AI innovation. This team has a lot of growth opportunities as we expand our robotaxi deployments and venture into new ML domains.
