Orchestrate the entire intake-to-pay process with the leading AI procurement platform. Zip uses purpose-built AI agents to automate global sourcing, compliance, and spend. Backed by Y Combinator and CRV.
About the role
You'll join Zip's Forward Deployed Software Engineering team as a software engineer on some of the highest-impact product work at the company. You'll write and ship production code, partner directly with our most critical customers, and own the engineering on the deals that matter most to Zip. If you've done Forward Deployed work elsewhere, this is a place to keep doing it - on real product, at scale, for some of the most recognizable companies in the world.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of experience in software engineering or similar field
- Strong software engineering skills. You've shipped non-trivial production systems and you can read and write code across the stack: Python on the backend and React/TypeScript on the frontend at Zip
- Product instincts and judgment. You're the engineer on your current team who pushes back on poorly scoped requirements, who notices when a feature is solving the wrong problem, and who's willing to say so
- Speed and urgency with a high quality bar. You can move on a customer-driven timeline and still write code that holds up in production
- High ownership. You diagnose, build, and ship with minimal supervision. You're the kind of engineer who follows a problem upstream until it's actually fixed
