ABOUT ZIP

Zip is the AI platform for enterprise procurement — built for humans and agents working together. By orchestrating procurement across teams, tools, and suppliers with the help of AI agents, companies can secure the resources they need to innovate faster than ever before.

The world’s most influential enterprises trust Zip, including T-Mobile, OpenAI, AMD, Mars, Dollar Tree, and more. Together they’ve saved over $8 billion and processed over $500 billion in spend. Zip’s team includes product leaders from Apple, Airbnb, and Meta, as well as former procurement leaders from United Health, Sanofi, MGM Resorts, Discover, and NASA.

Backed by Adams Street, Alkeon, BOND, CRV, DST, Tiger Global, and Y Combinator, Zip has raised $371 million, most recently at a $2.2 billion valuation and has been recognized by Forbes Fintech 50, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, Inc. Best in Business, and LinkedIn Top Startups.

YOUR ROLE

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Platform team, you will be responsible for designing and building scalable architecture, tooling and processes that enable Zip’s engineers to ship enterprise-quality software with high velocity. You will play a technical leadership role by providing design and architectural guidance to accelerate software development at Zip using techniques ranging from low-level systems optimizations (for speeding up tests), to large-scale rewrites using AI-assisted codemods.

You will ship features that will be immediately used by your coworkers who will feel the impact of your work first-hand and share feedback instantly. On this team, we operate from a position of high leverage, and the impact of every small improvement gets multiplied across the 100s of engineers we support. While we are an experienced team that can provide constant guidance and mentorship, we value engineers who can autonomously scope and solve difficult technical challenges.

YOU WILL

- Lead initiatives to ensure that new features are performant and reliable, creating innovative frameworks to address our unique testing challenges.

- Accelerate software development at Zip by driving adoption of AI-driven tools, from IDEs to code reviews to test generators.

- Drive velocity and productivity by diagnosing and removing friction in every step, from development environments, to testing patterns, to CI pipelines, to deployment processes, to feature flag conventions.

- Lift product quality and boost the health of our codebase by analyzing legacy patterns that need to be sunset, and building new frameworks and guardrails to nudge engineers toward better practices.

- Optimize the customer experience across the product by systematically improving our frameworks, removing and preventing issues at the platform layer.

- Drive the development of a new deploy and release process, enabling daily deployments while safeguarding customers from bugs and incidents through canaries, traffic replay, and bundling feature releases for Enterprise customers

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

- 4+ years of software engineering experience.

- BS or higher, in Computer Science or related technical field (e.g. physics or math).

- Experience with modern CI tools such as GitHub, GitLab, Buildkite, Jenkins, and Docker.

- Attention to detail with a strong ownership mindset.

- Ability to diagnose obstacles, debug friction, and drive velocity.

The salary range for this role is $185,000 - $260,000. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
