Full Job Description
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.
