Contract Student Worker - Software Engineer (40 hrs/wk)
Zoox · Foster City, CA · Posted 8 days ago
Build real test, integration, and LLM-assisted tooling for a robotaxi program in Las Vegas and San Francisco, working alongside senior engineers on safety-critical autonomy.
About Zoox
Zoox is an autonomous ridehailing company building the world's first purpose-built robotaxi — fully electric, bidirectional, with no steering wheel or driver's seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible, Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. We're currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Austin and Miami on the horizon, and testing underway across seven U.S. markets.
About Our Contract Student Worker Program
Zoox's contract student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. We're looking for students who bring strong academic foundations, curiosity that doesn't stop at coursework, and a drive to be part of something that matters.

- Build and maintain features for full-stack QA applications (TypeScript frontend/backend, Python for non-frontend services), under the guidance of senior engineers
- Assist in designing and implementing test/integration/end-to-end frameworks and pipeline automation
- Contribute to agent-assisted tooling — e.g., wiring up LLM-based classifiers, structured tool interfaces, or evaluation scripts for existing agentic workflows, with senior engineers owning architecture and safety-critical decisions

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand test and triage pain points and help build solutions
