We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.

Zipline’s unique ability to quickly improve our hardware and develop new designs allowed us to launch our hardware so successfully, and this role with unlock our ability to expand across the United States and beyond while maintaining the same design improvement velocity.
