Senior Software Engineer
Zoox
Fully electric autonomous ride-hailing service platform
Salary Range: 201000 to 275000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
The Mapping Web team builds the geospatial visualization tools that enable Zoox engineers to understand and reason about the robot’s world. The team develops internal map visualization libraries that power rendering across a wide range of applications.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to own and advance these core libraries. This person will extend rendering capabilities, strengthen the underlying architecture, and create scalable foundations that other engineering teams can build upon. Deep, hands-on experience with map and geospatial visualization is required for this role.
Own and extend our deck.gl-based map visualization library.
Design and deliver new 2D and 3D rendering capabilities for geospatial data, road networks, lane geometry, and our proprietary road network structures.
Partner with teams such as Cartography and Simulation to translate their visualization needs into scalable features.
Improve rendering performance for large, complex map datasets.
Elevate code quality, documentation, and test coverage while mentoring engineers on geospatial rendering and React/deck.gl patterns.
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong expertise in React, modern TypeScript and Python.
Hands-on experience with deck.gl, Mapbox GL, MapLibre, or a comparable WebGL-based mapping or 3D visualization library.
Strong knowledge of geospatial data concepts, including coordinate systems, tiling, and vector and raster rendering.
Experience designing and maintaining libraries or platforms used by other engineering teams, with a strong focus on correctness, modularity, testability, and code quality.
Experience working with large-scale geospatial datasets in autonomous vehicle, mapping, or GIS environments.
Familiarity with WebGL and GPU rendering performance optimization.
Demonstrated success providing technical mentorship and collaborating across teams on shared infrastructure.
Zoox designs and operates an autonomous ride-hailing service built around a purpose-built, fully electric vehicle designed specifically for autonomous operation. The vehicle uses advanced sensors, cameras, and AI to navigate complex urban environments, offering a four-passenger interior for comfort. Unlike competitors that retrofit existing cars, Zoox engineers both the vehicle and the service from the ground up, enabling optimized safety, efficiency, and passenger experience through integrated software that optimizes routing and reduces wait times. The company emphasizes safety through extensive testing and regulatory collaboration, and sustainability via electric mobility. The ultimate goal is to provide a smarter, safer, and more efficient urban transportation system that improves city life while reducing emissions.
