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 potential migration to GitHub Cloud, build the tooling that smooths 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., * Own the technical strategy and roadmap for source control - GitHub Enterprise today, GitHub Cloud tomorrow - and write the core code that makes it real.

  • Plan and execute a full migration from GitHub Enterprise to GitHub Cloud: 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, Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We’re looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team. Follow us on LinkedIn Accommodations If you need an accommodation to participate in the application or interview process please reach out to accommodations@zoox.com or your assigned recruiter. A Final Note: You do not need to match every listed expectation to apply for this position. Here at Zoox, we know that diverse perspectives foster the innovation we need to be successful, and we are committed to building a team that encompasses a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.

Requirements

  • 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., * Direct experience migrating from GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Cloud.
  • 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).
