What they're looking for
- Track record of building and leading high performing technical teams (data science, data engineering, ML, or labeling), including managing managers or senior individual contributors
- Deep technical expertise in computer vision, video, multimodal AI, or related perception problems
- Experience leading large scale data capabilities that directly influence model training, evaluation, and performance
- Strong intuition for what makes data valuable, with experience in data discovery, selection, curation, and enrichment at scale
- Proven execution at scale, with strong technical and commercial judgment across quality, speed, cost, and build versus buy trade offs
- Ability to move between strategy and technical detail, set direction in ambiguity, and influence senior technical and business stakeholders
More about this role
Perception data is core to how Zoox’s robotaxis understand the world, and as Senior Manager of Perception Data, you will own the flywheel that turns that data into safer, smarter driving.
You will lead our perception data organization, spanning data science, data engineering, and data labeling, and own how we mine logs, automate annotation, feed high value data into our models, and close the loop through analysis and measurement. The most valuable examples in our corpus are often the hardest to find: rare behaviors, unusual interactions, safety critical events, and the long tail of real world urban driving. Your role is not only to build the systems that process this data, but to decide what data matters and why, and to build the learning loop that lets Zoox improve model performance faster.
This is an opportunity for a leader who blends strategic thinking with strong execution, has done it before at scale, and knows how to partner with ML leaders, metrics pipelines, and infrastructure teams.
- Own the perception data flywheel. Run the learning loop from real world fleet signals and model behavior through data discovery, curation, and enrichment into training, evaluation, and...
