Staff Platform Software Engineer (AI Enablement)

Join Zipline, a company revolutionizing delivery services with autonomous technology. As a Staff Platform Software Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient integration of AI-enabled applications with our production systems. You will design and implement scalable and secure interfaces, establish technical standards, and partner with various teams to drive the success of our mission.

• Définir et construire la "route pavée" pour connecter les applications et outils internes habilités par l'IA aux systèmes de production, y compris les services qui soutiennent les opérations de livraison et l'expérience client.
• Concevoir et mettre en œuvre des API, des passerelles, des middleware et des modèles d'intégration réutilisables qui sont évolutifs, sécurisés, observables et faciles à adopter pour les ingénieurs.
• Établir des normes techniques claires et une gouvernance sur la manière dont les outils habilités par l'IA accèdent aux systèmes de production et aux systèmes critiques pour les opérations.

• Comfort using AI-assisted development tools as part of your engineering practice, along with the judgment to validate, harden, and operate the resulting systems
• Deep experience designing developer-facing APIs and distributed systems
• Experience designing abuse-resistant or public-facing APIs
• Strong application engineering judgment, with a track record of translating product, customer, or operational needs into maintainable production software
• Experience building cloud services and event-driven systems, including technologies such as Go, Protobuf, Kafka, and API-based service architectures
• Experience designing for reliability, scale, and safe handling of high-volume or unpredictable traffic
• Background in security engineering, application security, site reliability engineering, or incident response
• Experience establishing technical standards or governance in a fast-moving engineering organization
• A collaborative, pragmatic approach to technical leadership: you set a high bar for production readiness while helping teams make progress
• Experience building systems that support real-world operations, logistics, autonomous systems, or other high-reliability services
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, rate limiting, observability, and operational safety in production applications
• Experience working with internal tools, data systems, or AI-enabled applications
• Experience with platform engineering, API gateways, service meshes, or developer platforms
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including experience building and operating production applications at meaningful scale
