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.
As the Director of the Marketplace engineering organization, you will lead the teams that connect customers and merchants to Zipline’s drone delivery network. This spans the Zipline app that consumers turn to every day to order meals that arrive hot, groceries without a trip to the store, and home essentials when in need. This also includes partner tools like how we integrate into restaurant kitchens, how we connect to retailers’ catalogs, and how we power on-demand fulfillment to enable checkout-to-delivery in as little as 10 minutes. The Marketplace org also builds tools to power customer support, services like pricing and prioritization, growth optimization, and the tooling to enable high-velocity engineering development for this team.
This is a rare chance to shape the software, organization, and operating model behind a delivery network built to give people more time. You will set direction across a broad product scope and tall technical stack, lead a fast-growing team, and ultimately turn an ambitious vision into a world-changing service.
