In this role, you will:

  • Build real-time instrumentation for performance monitoring of the system as well as benchmarking frameworks to support offline performance evaluation.

  • Analyze profiling data to identify resource utilization hotspots and optimization opportunities.
  • Propose and co-implement actionable solutions with software component teams.
  • Support teams in helping to squeeze out the maximum performance of their code, while minimizing resource contention.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional experience in software development or related fields
  • Hands-on experience in the development, debugging, and profiling of complex multi-process real-time systems, like game engines or robotics systems
  • Strong knowledge of C++ and experience in large code bases
  • Familiar with CPU system architecture and OS fundamentals
  • Good communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem-solving, good time management, and task prioritization skills

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience using various Linux performance monitor tools, such as perf, eBPF, Perfetto
  • Kernel and/or driver development experience
  • Experience with software & hardware benchmarking and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems

Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.

Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We're looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.
