Senior Software Engineer - Mapping Web

The role

You will own and extend the team's deck.gl-based map visualization library used by Zoox engineers. You will build new 2D and 3D rendering for geospatial data and road networks, and improve performance for large map datasets.

What you will do

• Own and extend the deck.gl-based map visualization library
• Design and deliver new 2D and 3D rendering capabilities for geospatial data, road networks, and lane geometry
• Partner with the Cartography and Simulation teams to turn their visualization needs into scalable features
• Improve rendering performance for large, complex map datasets
• Raise code quality, documentation, and test coverage
• Mentor engineers on geospatial rendering and React/deck.gl patterns

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong expertise in React, modern TypeScript and Python
• Hands-on experience with deck.gl, Mapbox GL, MapLibre, or a comparable WebGL-based mapping or 3D visualization library
• Strong knowledge of geospatial data concepts, including coordinate systems, tiling, and vector and raster rendering
• Experience designing and maintaining libraries or platforms used by other engineering teams, with a focus on correctness, modularity, testability, and code quality
• Deep, hands-on experience with map and geospatial visualization

Nice to have

• Experience with large-scale geospatial datasets in autonomous vehicle, mapping, or GIS environments
• Familiarity with WebGL and GPU rendering performance optimization
• Demonstrated success providing technical mentorship and collaborating across teams on shared infrastructure

Before you apply

• Equivalent practical experience is accepted in place of a bachelor's degree
