Zoox Careers

Zoox is an autonomous mobility company developing fully self-driving vehicles and a ride-hailing service designed specifically for autonomous transportation. Founded in 2014 by Tim Kentley-Klay and Jesse Levinson, the company is headquartered in Foster City, California. Zoox’s mission is to create safer, cleaner, and more efficient urban mobility through purpose-built autonomous vehicles rather than retrofitting existing cars. The company designs and builds its own electric robotaxi, along with the full autonomous driving software stack, sensors, and mobility platform.

In 2020, Zoox was acquired by Amazon in a deal valued at over $1 billion, giving it significant financial backing and resources to accelerate development. The company employs more than a thousand people across engineering, robotics, AI, and vehicle design. Zoox gained attention for unveiling a bidirectional, steering-wheel-free robotaxi designed specifically for autonomous ride-hailing. The company continues to conduct autonomous vehicle testing in cities such as Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Foster City, positioning itself as a notable player in the emerging autonomous mobility and robotaxi market.
