About the role

Original posting from Zoox via Lever

Autonomous vehicles have some of the largest, most complex software ever shipped in a safety-critical environment. Solving that problem is one of the most exciting technical challenges of our lifetime. As part of the Release Management team at Zoox, you will own all aspects of the software release process and help accelerate our product development by leading various weekly / fortnightly / monthly releases focused on ensuring we are shipping the safest and most reliable software possible. 

As developers build new features, the release management team will be responsible for tracking and knowing the content of each release, updating testing strategies, measuring system performance, and escalating issues seen during on-vehicle and offline testing. These efforts are critical to maintaining our code quality and ensuring our service capabilities are operating as intended. You will coordinate with cross-divisional teams to accelerate releases, increase the quality of our autonomous driving products, and optimize resource efficiency. Your ability to understand the overall system design and component interaction to help guide test methodology for functional and safety sign-off is crucial to the overall success of the release team.
