Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Oxa Full time
Description

This role is hybrid, with one day per week at our HQ in Oxford. We aren't able to offer visa sponsorship for this role at this time.

Who are we?

Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.

We are home to some of the world’s leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we’re partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.

Based in Oxford, and with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and is growing rapidly (350+ ‘Oxbots’ to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, through an uncompromising focus on safety, efficiency and explainability of our AI approaches. The company has attracted $225 million from leading investors so far, with $140 million raised in the last Series C funding round in January 2023.

You will join our Oxa Hub team, where we create Oxa's all of the tools and services that organisations need to deploy, manage, operate and analyse their self-driving applications. It acts as mission control for autonomous fleets driven by Oxa.

  • Responding to automated alerts to help diagnose problems with live web applications and infrastructure.
  • Collaborating with other team members, discussing problem solving approaches, participating in code reviews and pair programming.

  • A demonstrable understanding of common attack vectors and the ability to follow best practices to ensure security when developing web applications and back-end infrastructure.

Extra Kudos

  • Experience deploying web apps to the cloud such as AWS, Azure or GCP.
  • Front-end web development experience is a huge plus (particularly TypeScript and React).
