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 The people we hire determine what Zipline is capable of building.

As a Technical Recruiting Manager, you'll lead a team responsible for hiring the engineers and technical leaders building the future of autonomous logistics. You'll partner directly with engineering leadership to understand where the business is going, anticipate talent needs before they become hiring plans, and develop recruiting strategies that enable Zipline to execute on its most ambitious goals. You'll coach recruiters to operate as trusted advisors—not coordinators—who bring market expertise, sound judgment, and relentless execution to every search.

This role is about much more than managing recruiters. You'll build a high-performing recruiting organization that consistently identifies exceptional talent in highly competitive markets, raises the quality of hiring across the company, and continuously improves how we recruit. Every hire matters, and every recruiting decision has long-term implications for the trajectory of the company.

We're looking for someone who believes recruiting is one of the highest leverage functions in a growing company and is excited to build the team responsible for finding the people who will define Zipline's future.

Bring deep knowledge of the competitive engineering talent landscape to influence hiring strategy, organizational planning, and executive decision-making. Continuously improve how Zipline hires by strengthening recruiting processes, interview quality, calibration, and operational rigor. Build a recruiting organization that scales with the company while maintaining an exceptional hiring bar.
