Senior Software Engineer, Repair and Reliability

About Zipline 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. The Repair and Reliability Platform team builds the systems that preserve asset health and keep the delivery network operational as aircraft, infrastructure, and fleet complexity scale. We create software that detects issues in live operations, orchestrates maintenance and repair workflows, evaluates airworthiness, and helps technicians return constrained assets to service quickly and safely. This team owns the operational backbone that connects fleet health, maintenance execution, technician operations, and return-to-service decisions into a single reliability platform. The systems we build directly influence aircraft availability, delivery capacity, operational safety, and the network’s ability to scale reliably. What you will own You will own software in the critical path of fleet reliability and maintenance operations, including: fleet health and asset visibility systems that track the operational state of aircraft, infrastructure, and distributed site assets maintenance orchestration platforms for issue management, work orders, technician workflows, and scheduled maintenance execution airworthiness and configuration control systems that evaluate whether aircraft can safely return to service usage tracking and lifecycle systems that monitor component wear and drive preventative maintenance policies operational tooling used by maintenance teams, service engineering, and flight operations to diagnose issues, coordinate interventions, and maintain fleet readiness reliability automation and event-driven systems that connect live operational signals to issue detection and repair workflows Hard problems, real ownership Most software roles optimize digital experiences. This role helps maintain and restore a live autonomous logistics network. You will work on problems like: maintaining trustworthy real-time visibility into fleet health across aircraft, infrastructure, and distributed operational sites preventing avoidable downtime by detecting degradation before it impacts delivery operations building systems that connect issue detection to fast, correct maintenance execution and return-to-service decisions designing operational tooling that helps technicians and operators make reliable decisions under time pressure evaluating airworthiness and maintenance policy compliance at fleet scale managing maintenance workflows across a globally distributed network with evolving har
