About the role

Role focused on owning and evolving the Bazel-based build ecosystem within Zoox’s large multi-language monorepo, optimizing build performance, integrating quality tooling, and empowering developers through metrics and tooling.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the core Bazel build ecosystem that every engineer at Zoox relies on to compile code and run tests
  • Directly accelerate engineering velocity by minimizing Bazel overhead, streamlining incremental builds to reduce iteration times, and working with our vendor Engflow to optimize our RBE platform
  • Develop custom Bazel rules and tooling (via Starlark) that abstract complexity so product teams can focus on autonomy problems, not build friction
  • Integrate software quality tools into our build system and development workflow (code coverage, static/dynamic analysis, include-what-you-use)
  • Build tools and dashboards to empower developers to ship better software faster

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering, mathematics, or related field and 8+ years of experience
  • Minimum of 2 years of expertise with Bazel (or similar systems like Buck or Pants)
  • Linux experience
  • Familiarity with maintaining large polyglot code bases
  • Comfortable writing Python to integrate tools and automate as much as possible
