  • Drive vision, strategy, and roadmap to improve scalability and reliability of simulation infrastructure.
  • Build a trusted relationship with teams using simulation infrastructure. Understand their challenges and opportunities, and translate them into technical solutions.
  • Ensure holistic architectural integrity with the rest of the Zoox systems -- AI, safety analysis tooling, QA, SW/ML Infra, Data Science, and more.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of industry experience in large-scale compute and data infrastructure.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally to influence/lead technical directions for systems with many stakeholders.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience architecting and implementing scalable compute orchestration and/or data services.
  • Knowledge of industry solutions for large-scale computing and data analysis tools & pipelines, and willingness to learn/work with new technologies and solutions.
  • Experience with hybrid on-prem/cloud deployments and on-prem-to-cloud migration and associated strategies and roadmaps.
  • Experience with enterprise technology evaluation and purchase process.
