Zoox - Vehicle Experience Contractor Assessment: Sourcing Guidance
Team: Zoox - Vehicle Experience
Date: August 2026
Contact: Salil Apte (EM) / İlker Deligöz(TL)

The purpose of this document is to help [Vendor] select and submit the right candidates. It describes what we assess and what we look for. It is guidance for sourcing, not a fixed assessment specification - the exact format and content of the sessions may vary by candidate.

Roles we are sourcing: 3 C++ and 2 cloud (Kotlin / JVM).

________________________________________
What we look for in every candidate
These apply across the board, and are the most useful things to screen for before submitting a candidate:


• Fluent spoken English, and willingness to think out loud. Our sessions are live discussions, not written tests. A candidate who works silently, or who produces a correct-looking answer they cannot explain, will not do well. This is not about accent or polish - it is about being able to hold a technical conversation and reason in real time.


• Problem-solving ability on unfamiliar ground. We deliberately put candidates on problems they have not seen before. We are interested in how they approach the unknown: asking clarifying questions, stating assumptions, forming and revising a hypothesis, and making progress with incomplete information. Memorized answers are not useful.


• Real production software experience. Candidates should have designed, owned, or debugged a non-trivial component of a real system - something that ran in production, had users, and failed in interesting ways. This matters far more to us than domain background.
