Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world’s largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably. Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products.
Our customers include the world’s largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we’ve built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.
Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe.
We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth. Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people’s lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.
Zipline operates a large-scale autonomous system that depends on reliable, low latency communication between vehicles, ground infrastructure, and cloud services. Our Cloud Communications team owns the platform that moves critical data from embedded systems into the cloud and ensures that data is reliable, scalable, and observable.
We are looking for a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to expand and harden this platform. This role focuses on connecting hardware assets to the cloud, hosting and orchestrating new data use cases, and building distributed observability that spans embedded software, cellular networks, and cloud microservices.
You will work closely with Embedded and Autonomy teams who design software to get data off devices. Your responsibility is to ensure that data is securely ingested into the cloud, deduplicated, stored, processed, monitored, and made available for both real time and offline workflows.
This is a high ownership role with direct impact on flight reliability, operational visibility, and the scalability of our global network.
