About the role
We want to be transparent: this is not an internship. The Part-Time Student Worker Program is designed to complement your academic experience by providing meaningful, ongoing work alongside your studies. Rather than participating in a cohort-based program, you'll join a team directly and contribute to real projects with real impact. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree (completed, or in progress/recently completed) in computer science, engineering, or a related field
- 0-2 years of professional or internship experience in software engineering
- Working proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
- Familiarity with React (or a similar frontend framework), REST APIs, and Git/version control
- Ability to work independently on well-scoped tasks and ask clarifying questions when requirements are ambiguous
- Strong communication skills and eagerness to learn from senior engineers
More about this role
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.
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.
- Build and maintain features for full-stack QA applications (TypeScript frontend/backend, Python for non-frontend services), under the guidance of senior engineers
- Assist in designing and implementing test/integration/end-to-end frameworks and pipeline automation
