About You and The Role

Zipline operates a large-scale autonomous system that relies on dependable, low-latency communication between vehicles, ground infrastructure, and cloud services. Our Cloud Communications team is responsible for the platform that transfers critical data from embedded systems to the cloud, ensuring data reliability, scalability, and observability.

We seek a Senior Software Engineer to enhance and fortify this platform. This role centers on connecting hardware assets to the cloud, hosting and orchestrating new data use cases, and constructing distributed observability across embedded software, cellular networks, and cloud microservices.

In this position, you will collaborate closely with the Embedded and Autonomy teams that develop software to extract data from devices. Your primary responsibility will be to guarantee that data is securely ingested into the cloud, deduplicated, stored, processed, monitored, and accessible for both real-time and offline workflows.

This is a high-ownership role directly influencing flight reliability, operational visibility, and the scalability of our global network.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the evolution of services connecting vehicles, charging and loading stations, fulfillment hardware, and other field-deployed infrastructure to the cloud.
  • Design and maintain asset-to-cloud APIs, message schemas, and communication clients in collaboration with embedded teams.
  • Develop and manage ingestion pipelines for new data use cases.
