2025 New Grad Software Engineer
Zip
Our co-founders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within just a few short years, Zip created the procurement orchestration category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, leading companies like Instacart, Anthropic, Sephora, Discover, Reddit, and Lyft rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.
We're a fast-growing team that helped scale category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Salesforce, Databricks, Ramp, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers.
