# Contract Student Worker - Software Engineer (20/hrs week)

About Zoox Zoox is an autonomous ridehailing company building the world's first purpose-built robotaxi - fully electric, bidirectional, with no steering wheel or driver's seat. Backed by Amazon and founded to make transportation safer, cleaner, and more accessible, Zoox designs its vehicles entirely around the rider. We're currently operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Austin and Miami on the horizon, and testing underway across seven U.S. markets. About Our Contract Student Worker Program Zoox's contract student worker program puts you at the center of one of the most ambitious challenges in transportation. You'll contribute to real projects, work alongside engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology, and gain experience that goes well beyond the classroom. We're looking for students who bring strong academic foundations, curiosity that doesn't stop at coursework, and a drive to be part of something that matters. Role Overview Zoox is bringing its robotaxi service to cities across the US. Every new city needs depots to house and maintain the fleet, and pickup/dropoff locations at the places riders want to go most: hotels, airports, stadiums
