Staff Full Stack Software Engineer, Application Software (Remote)

Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service, dedicated to ensuring access to essential goods globally. The Staff Full Stack Software Engineer will own high-impact software across various parts of Zipline’s application platform, working closely with teams to design and build production software that supports operational efficiency and scalability.

Responsibilities:

• You’ll own high-impact software across one or more parts of Zipline’s application platform, such as:
• Partner, merchant, and internal operations tools that help teams run the business day to day
• Marketplace, fulfillment, billing, and support systems that connect demand, delivery, and financial correctness
• Network operations software for simulation, real-time visibility, intervention, orchestration, maintenance, and asset health
• Enterprise systems that power manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, traceability, finance, quality, and field operations
• You’ll work closely with the people who use these systems every day, from operators and field teams to manufacturing, supply chain, finance, commercial, product, and partner teams
• You’ll identify ambiguous problems, design durable systems, build production software end to end, and drive adoption
• You’ll solve problems like:
• How do we give operators and partners real-time visibility into a complex physical network?
• How do we keep the network moving when demand shifts, weather changes, assets degrade, or capacity gets tight?
• How do we build financial and operational systems where every transaction, part, order, and aircraft state is traceable?
• How do we automate workflows across manufacturing, supply chain, fulfillment, and field operations without losing correctness?
• How do we design software that scales across countries, metros, verticals, and millions of deliveries?
• These are production systems with immediate operational and business consequences. You’ll have real ownership, make technical and product decisions, and help shape how Zipline scales

Requirements:

• Have experience building and shipping production software systems
• Bring strong full-stack fundamentals across frontend, backend, services, and data
• Can turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into simple, reliable software
• Combine product instinct with systems judgment
• Care deeply about reliability, correctness, usability, and operational trust
• Enjoy working directly with users and stakeholders to understand real workflows
• Want to shape architecture and product direction, not just implement scoped features
• Are excited to use modern AI tooling to increase velocity while maintaining strong engineering rigor
