Requirements

  • 8+ years of product management, technical product management, systems, analytics, or related experience.
  • Experience building complex software platforms, data products, operational systems, or products that operate in the real world.
  • Strong analytical skills, including experience defining metrics, working with operational data, and using evidence to prioritize decisions.
  • Technical fluency with application programming interfaces, data models, distributed systems, geospatial concepts, integrations, and operational workflows.
  • A track record of taking ambiguous problems from concept through prototyping, validation, deployment, and scale.

About the Company

Zipline

Builds and runs autonomous drone delivery

Zipline builds and operates autonomous drone delivery networks for retailers, restaurants and healthcare systems that need to move products without road traffic. Its electric aircraft carry food, prescriptions and other supplies from partner sites or distribution hubs to customers and health facilities. The company combines aircraft, charging equipment and delivery software with flight operations, so partners buy a logistics service rather than manage their own drones. Merchants use its ordering and tracking tools to reach customers, while governments and health systems contract for medical supply delivery. Zipline was founded in 2014 and has its headquarters in South San Francisco, California.
