Role
Who you are
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Operations, or a related field
- Good academic standing
- Able to commit to a 12-week internship during the following summer 2026 cohort: June 15th - September 4th
- Ability to relocate to the Bay Area, CA for the duration of the internship
- Interns at Zoox may not use any proprietary information they are working on as part of their thesis, any published work with their university, or to be distributed to anyone outside of Zoox
- You're detail-oriented and view bookkeeping as a puzzle where every piece must fit perfectly
- You enjoy building systems, organizing data, and figuring out how to make manual processes faster and more automated
- You thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment (like a company launching a massive new platform)
- Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets
- You do not need to match every listed expectation to apply for this position. Here at Zoox, we know that diverse perspectives foster the innovation we need to be successful, and we are committed to building a team that encompasses a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills
Desirable
- Familiarity with fintech tools, SQL, or accounting software
- You have a passion for autonomous vehicles, robotics, or mobility-as-a-service
- Prior experience in an operations-heavy role or a startup environment
What the job involves
- We are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Fintech Operations Intern to join us for the summer. This isn't your typical "coffee-running" internship
- You will be stepping directly into the cockpit of our brand-new Payments Platform
- As we test and scale our resilient financial systems, you will be the guardian of our gift card allocation and bookkeeping processes
- You will literally help Zoox turn on its commercial engine, ensuring that every dollar is tracked and every process runs smoothly. If you love operational ownership and want to see your work directly impact a commercial launch, this role is for you
- Take full end-to-end ownership of the bookkeeping and allocation system for Zoox gift cards
- Keep rigorous track of cash flows and inventory related to the payments platform, ensuring absolute accuracy during critical testing phases
- Partner with the broader finance and engineering teams to stress-test our resilient payment architecture
- Don’t just run the playbook—help write it. You will analyze the current operational process, identify bottlenecks, and propose/implement scalable improvements
- Act as a bridge between operations and finance to ensure seamless data flow and reporting
Our take
Zoox, a self-driving vehicle company, was founded to make personal transportation safer and more enjoyable for all. It has aimed to achieve this goal by creating a new mode of driverless transportation, thus eradicating the safety and logistical issues that come with human drivers.
It revealed its custom vehicle design in December 2020, showcasing something different from just a car without a driver. Uniquely, all four wheels are independent of one another, and the vehicles have no front or back, making them more agile than a standard car. Zoox claims that it is different from other industry players because it has created an entire driverless ecosystem, including the vehicle itself, allowing it to have more control.
The company is fast becoming a major player in an industry that is predicted to be worth $2 trillion by 2030. Electric motors are highly desirable, particularly in an urban environment, as governments look for ways to reduce emissions and improve air quality. Zoox is aiming to play a vital role in this evolution towards more sustainable urban mobility. Amazon acquired the company in 2020 and, despite a general downturn in the sector through 2022, opened its first Zoox factory for robotaxis in 2025, and is testing the autonomous vehicles in multiple cities in the US.
