About the Role

Zipline builds and operates fleets of delivery drones to get critical and life-saving products to the people who need them, fast. Our software team powers this system by building and maintaining scalable digital infrastructure that enables our world-class distribution centers to serve customers with speed and precision.

We’re looking for a senior full-stack engineer to help improve and scale the order management and fulfillment system behind Ziplines automated logistics service in Africa. This platform acts as our internal CRM, order management platform, coordinating order fulfillment, inventory management, and customer communication across an expanding network of countries and delivery use cases.

You’ll translate a broad set of stakeholder needs into usable, well-architected software that improves operational efficiency, enhances the customer experience, and positions Zipline for long-term growth. You’ll work across the stack building web apps, shaping backend services, and managing data flows while helping steer the systems evolution as it scales in complexity and impact.

If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is excited about building software that interacts with the physical world and owning systems that power the world’s largest autonomous logistics network, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do in this role

1. Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack web applications with a focus on reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability
2. Collaborate with engineering and operations to define system requirements and deliver tools that support real-world logistics
3. Shape architectural decisions and data flows as the system scales across geographies, complexity, and business needs
4. Help improve the developer experience by addressing gaps in tooling, documentation, and system clarity
5. Lead by example in code reviews, technical discussions, and shared problem-solving to support a growing, junior team

What you’ll bring

1. 5+ years of experience building and maintaining full-stack web applications in production environments
2. Strong proficiency with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue) and back-end technologies (e.g., Python, Node.js, or Go)
3. Experience designing and working with relational databases, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems
4. A track record of contributing to system architecture or improving developer workflows within a team
5. Comfort guiding technical decisions in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with evolving requirements and ambiguous constraints
6. Clear, concise communication skills and a thoughtful approach to code reviews, documentation, and shared ownership
