Who are we? 

Based in Oxford and with offices in Canada and the US, Oxa is an international startup founded in 2014 and scaling up rapidly (300+ Oxbots and growing). 

As the global leader in our industry, we’re fuelled by a bold purpose: to make the Earth move better. From passenger shuttles to industrial vehicles, our operating system for Universal Autonomy™ is transforming the way people and goods are transported by enabling any vehicle, in any environment, to operate autonomously — safely, securely and efficiently.  

Our technology is capturing investors’ imagination. To date we’ve raised $140 million in our Series C investment round. Accommodating growing demand from new and current shareholders, this funding is driving our expansion in North America and EMEA, and accelerating the deployment of our technology in domains where there is both urgent need and potential to scale.  

Your Team

You will join our Fleet Readiness team, where we take the technology that Oxa produces and turn it into a usable product for our customers. It is concerned with all the automation and processes that take a vehicle which has just been powered on, to a vehicle that is ready to receive commands. This includes the calibration, configuration, installation, application management, and the associated UX for our users and developers. 

Your Role

• Developing the capabilities to integrate both front and backend features to enable vehicles to be remotely managed
• Developing features that enable customers to benefit from Autonomy in their problem domain

Requirements

What you need to succeed:

• Ability to bridge UI and backend development both in cloud and local environments
• Experience with backend technologies such as gRPC, FastAPI and/or Flask
• Experience with frontend development with technologies such as React and Typescript
• Ability to work with cloud technologies such as GCP & Containers
• Ability to identify and define problem specifications (design-docs) from high-level, coherent (but incomplete) technical goals through interaction with Engineering leaders and customers (internal and external)

Extra kudos:

• Evidence of personal technical competency in relevant areas eg. software or systems that they have created, can point to IC work and not just the teams
• Ability to communicate effectively with frontend and backend engineering teams
• Experience of data-driven development, in-use monitoring and proactive maintenance

The Candidate Journey:  Multi-Step and Two-Way

No-one wants to feel like a square peg in a round hole, so this process is designed to give you every chance to get the measure of us, and us of you. The various stages give you every opportunity to show your unique strengths and qualities, and enables each of us to establish if we’re a good fit for the other.  If the fit is good and you’re selected, you’re then in a position to do great work and thrive, which is what everyone wants.
