About The Position

Zoox is seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Data Engineer to build the next generation of autonomous, self-healing data pipelines. You will be the primary responsible for building the framework to integrate complex, mission-critical enterprise sources including SAP (S/4HANA, Ariba, BRIM, ME) across Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, HR and Marketing into a unified data fabric. This is a highly technical role for an engineer who thrives on building resilient, automated systems that ensure high-fidelity data is always available for our AI agents and Analytics workflows.

Requirements

8+ years in Data Engineering, with extensive hands-on experience building production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, SQL and modern orchestration frameworks (e.g. Airflow, Lakeflow, Argo).
Proven ability to work with large-scale enterprise platforms (SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, Workday, etc.) and understanding the nuances of their respective APIs and data models.
Demonstrated experience in building "self-healing" systems, implementing circuit breakers, automated retry logic and robust error-handling & monitoring mechanisms.
Ability to design scalable, modular architectures that abstract the complexity of disparate enterprise systems into clean, usable data models.
A "builder" mentality with a track record of driving complex infrastructure projects from architecture to production in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
Collaborating with cross-functional teams, AI & Analytics engineers.

Nice To Haves

Experience using LLMs to automate data reconciliation, anomaly detection or root-cause analysis within data pipelines.
Familiarity with cloud-native data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks).
Familiarity with Terraform, Kubernetes or serverless compute to deploy and manage elastic, resilient data processing infrastructure.
Experience with Databricks Serverless, Managed tables, Zerobus and Variant

Responsibilities

Design and deploy self-healing data ingestion pipelines that automatically detect anomalies, perform schema evolution, and recover from failures without manual intervention.
Build robust integration layers for diverse ecosystems, specifically focusing on SAP (S/4HANA, Ariba, BRIM, ME), Workday, Lever, Anaplan and Salesforce CRM.
Develop comprehensive telemetry and automated remediation strategies to monitor data quality, latency and pipeline health in near real time.
Ensure that data is cleaned, structured, and served in an "AI-ready" format, enabling our AI agents to query and interact with enterprise data reliably.
Modernize our data architecture to handle high-volume, cross-functional data synchronization while maintaining strict security, compliance, and governance standards.
