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.

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. About You and the Role We are looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to lead the teams building Zipline’s G A systems across Finance and People.

This role is responsible for building the software layer that allows Zipline’s business teams to move quickly, operate accurately, and scale without drowning in manual process. You will lead software engineers building custom applications for Finance, People, Recruiting, Legal, and other internal customers across G A. The majority of the work is building custom applications for internal teams: workflows, approval tools, operational systems, reporting surfaces, financial and people data products, and business process automation that fit how Zipline actually operates.

You will also integrate with third-party systems where it makes sense, including accounting, HRIS, payroll, recruiting, identity, procurement, and other enterprise platforms. The best candidates for this role are scrappy builders who understand enterprise complexity without being constrained by enterprise software playbooks. You should be comfortable leading a small team, shaping architecture, coaching engineers, writing code when needed, and working directly with business stakeholders to understand the real problem behind the stated request.

You should also have financial and accounting expertise and understand how people and financial systems impact each other. You will partner closely with Finance, People, Legal, Recruiting, IT, Security, Data, and Software Engineering to define the roadmap, challenge assumptions, and build systems that give Zipline leverage as we scale. We need someone who can make practical tradeoffs between custom software and third-party integrations, with a bias toward building when custom software creates strategic advantage.
