About the company:

Zoox is transforming mobility-as-a-service by developing a fully autonomous, purpose-built fleet designed for AI to drive and humans to enjoy.

Zoox is building a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for our cities. As a technical program manager on the Autonomy team, you will work cross-functionally with engineering leaders across mapping, map data infrastructure, and mission planning to turn corporate strategy into detailed roadmaps and drive execution at each stage of our growth. These roles sit at the center of how our vehicles know where they are and where they need to go: scaling the Zoox Road Network (ZRN) to new cities, building the Map Data Platform that powers it, and delivering the Mission Planner that routes riders to their destinations. You will build project schedules, identify milestones, flag risks, and communicate progress clearly.

Base Salary Range

There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position.

Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.

In this role, you will:

Partner with engineering managers across Mapping, Map Data Platform, and Mission Planner to translate corporate strategy and milestones into detailed roadmaps, timelines, and deliverables

Give leadership a clear view of risks, dependencies, and readiness for each new city deployment

Build scalable processes for the maps, data, and routing that every Zoox ride depends on

You'll work with cross-functional stakeholders across Zoox to proactively identify gaps, escalate risks, and drive issues to closure

You'll be a trusted partner to engineering leadership and the go-to person for unblocking teams and driving solutions

Qualifications

BS/MS degree in computer science, engineering or equivalent job experience with at least 4 years of experience in technical program management

Strong track record of leading ambiguous, complex programs across multiple engineering teams with differing processes and tooling

An ability to keep the big picture in focus and provide clear, well-structured, and concise communications tailored to each appropriate audience

Deep familiarity with software and data infrastructure development processes

Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, including KPI and risk visualization, and proficiency with program tools (e.g., Gantt charts, risk matrices, Smartsheet, Jira)

Bonus Qualifications

Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, or mapping and routing systems (e.g., HD maps, geospatial data pipelines, or routing optimization at a mapping or ride-hailing company)

Experience scaling infrastructure, data platforms, or engineering processes across fast-growing teams

Experience with complex safety-critical systems
