About Zipline

Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges by building, manufacturing and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally, wherever they are. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes, we are transforming the way things move for businesses, governments and consumers. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Through our technology that includes robotics and autonomy, we are decarbonizing delivery, decreasing road congestion, and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain.
 
Join Zipline and help us to make good on our promise to build an equitable and more resilient global supply chain for billions of people.

About You and The Role 

Zipline’s software team delivers safety-critical software at lightning speed. A small team of engineers builds and maintains the datacenter and automation systems that power our global operations. In this role, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of our datacenter stack—from bare metal provisioning and hypervisor management to Kubernetes clusters and infrastructure automation.

You’ll be hands-on, ensuring reliability, scalability, and efficiency of our compute and storage systems, while collaborating with other engineers to define best practices, improve tooling, and support the systems that keep development and operations running smoothly.

At times your work will be high-level, shaping technical direction or identifying the right automation tools and standards to adopt. At other times, you’ll be deep in the details—racking and stacking, tuning clusters, debugging infrastructure issues, or automating deployments. Above all, you’ll be a trusted partner to engineers across the org, building resilient systems that accelerate Zipline’s mission.

What You'll Do  

  • Own and evolve Zipline’s datacenter infrastructure stack: compute, storage, networking, and Kubernetes
  • Automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management for bare metal and virtualized systems
  • Deploy, maintain, and scale hypervisors, storage clusters, and containerized workloads
  • Partner with engineers across the org to deliver reliable, automated infrastructure that meets diverse requirements
  • Build and maintain automation workflows, dashboards, and tools to streamline datacenter operations
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across hardware, virtualization, and orchestration layers

What You'll Bring 

  • 8+ years of experience in a software development role at engineering-led companies
  • Hands-on experience across datacenter operations: rack & stack, networking, bare metal provisioning, hypervisors, storage clusters, Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation
  • A generalist mindset — broad knowledge, curiosity, and breadth of experiences
  • Excitement about enabling other engineers: you thrive on building reliable systems and collaborating across teams
  • Ability to develop, document, and enforce best practices in infrastructure operations
