Senior/Staff Software Engineer - SRE, GitHub & CI/CD Infrastructure

Job description

Zoox is building fully autonomous vehicles designed from the ground up for robotaxi service — and as we scale toward launch, our engineering infrastructure has to scale with us. We're hiring a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to own source control at Zoox, serving as the technical lead for the platform that every engineer depends on daily. This is a hands-on lead role. You'll set the direction for our Git-based monorepo, drive a restructuring of our Source Code management strategy, build the tooling that improves reliability and developer workflows, and partner with platform, security, and product teams to make source control a strategic asset rather than a bottleneck. The ideal candidate leads by building — with deep expertise in monorepo management (branching strategies, code review workflows, access controls, CI/CD) and a track record of improving developer productivity through code, not just guidance. You take ownership, measure what matters, and have the technical credibility to make decisions stick. ### In this role, you will: - Own the technical strategy and roadmap for source control at Zoox. - Plan and execute a strategic effort to scale source code management at Zoox: scoping, design, implementation, cutover, and validation, in partnership with security, platform, and engineering teams. - Build and operate monorepo scalability improvements across repo structure, branch strategy, code ownership, large-file handling, and CI integration — including the scripts, hooks, and automation that make them stick. - Develop the guardrails and developer-facing tooling that reduce toil for SRE and product engineering alike, measured by build times, merge friction, and interrupt volume. - Set the technical bar through code reviews, design proposals, and pairing — and serve as the hands-on authority for source control decisions across Zoox engineering ### Qualifications - 5+ years operating GitHub Enterprise (or equivalent) at scale, with hands-on experience scaling a large monorepo for an org of several hundred or more engineers. - Strong CI/CD integration background (Buildkite, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI) across code review workflows, build triggers, branch policies, and merge automation. - Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent), major cloud platforms, and executing platform migrations against active codebases. - Strong technical leadership and written communication; able to drive alignment across infrastructure, security, and product engineering. ### Bonus Qualifications - Familiarity with monorepo build tooling (Bazel, Buck, or similar) and supply-chain hardening practices (signed commits, dependency governance, secret scanning). - Experience with code review tooling layered on top of GitHub (Reviewable, Gerrit, or similar).
