About Zipline
About You and The Role
Zipline’s software team delivers safety-critical software at lightning speed. A small team of software engineers builds the tooling that enables development to run like a well-oiled machine. In this role, you will work closely with software engineers across all areas of the org: autonomy, firmware, flight software, avionics, and simulation. You will work on leveling up our build system, enabling teams to gather more insight from our CI/CD pipeline, and keeping development flowing. At times your job will be high-level, identifying strategic investments or deciding which new tools to use. At times your job will require you to be deep in our codebase, debugging and improving it. And at times, your job will be customer-centric, pairing with other software engineers on critical infrastructure, designing new pipelines, and migrating codebases to new platforms.
What You'll Do
- Own our Bazel build system
- Migrate legacy build tools (CMake, cargo) towards bazel
- Create and maintain hermetic bazel toolchains for our own linux distribution
- Implement and operate bazel RBE for custom hardware and cloud native environments
- Improve the speed and reliability of our CI/CD pipeline
- Own one-off tools, for example custom workflows or a build insights dashboard
- Build tooling to support engineering test flights
- Improve the code review process
- Create reusable libraries and refactor code to improve the team’s overall productivity
- Build bots and automation that delight the team
What You'll Bring
- 8+ years of experience in a software development role at engineering-led companies
- Expertise in developer tooling, modern tools and best practices
- A generalist mindset, with excitement to own problems end-to-end
- A customer-centric mindset, with an ability to quickly embed with other engineers and regularly pair program
- Strong, defensible opinions on what makes an excellent software development experience
