Original job description

Zoox is building the world's most advanced self-driving hardware and software solution. Inside the vehicle, dozens of processes across several compute hosts exchange sensor data, perception output, planner decisions, and control commands many times a second. Every millisecond spent moving that data is a millisecond the vehicle doesn't have to react, so the transport has to be fast and predictable, and keep working when a process restarts or a host comes up late.

The Core Connectivity team owns how that data moves, and how fast: shared-memory IPC between processes, transport between hosts, serialization, the RPC and messaging patterns application teams build on, and time synchronization across hosts. Nearly every software team at Zoox builds on this layer, so you'll work closely with the teams that use it, and your work shows up directly in how the vehicle drives.
