About the role
Contract Tooling developer role in Zoox PMO to build internal web tools and dashboards using existing data sources, with geospatial tooling to inform service area deployment. Hybrid onsite in Foster City, CA; contract position.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship internal web tools and dashboards on top of existing Zoox data sources, owning them from prototype through the version leaders rely on.
- Start from the decision, not the dataset — work with TPMs and engineering partners to turn a vague business question into a scoped tool, then iterate quickly on their feedback.
- Design the data layer behind those tools — queries, transformations, and pipelines that keep them current without manual intervention.
- Extend our geospatial tooling with new attributes, data sources, and visualizations that sharpen where and how we expand service.
- Handle real-world data honestly — surface coverage gaps, flag low-confidence results, and make each tool's assumptions visible to the people acting on its output.
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in, or recently completed, a BS or MS in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field — or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated experience building web tools or dashboards end to end, through coursework, internships, research, or personal projects.
- Strong Python and working SQL, plus front-end capability to build a usable interface — React/TypeScript or a Python framework such as Streamlit, Dash, or Flask — with a visualization library (Plotly, D3, or similar).
- Effective use of generative AI coding tools such as Claude Code, with the discipline to review and test what they produce rather than ship it unread.
- Solid software fundamentals — version control, code review, readable code — and comfort with messy, incomplete real-world data.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and the ability to explain a technical result to a non-specialist audience.
