Role
Who you are
- You’re excited to build systems that directly influence how millions of users access Zapier and help ensure our business continues to grow sustainably
- 3+ years of experience building and maintaining production web applications
- Strong knowledge in JavaScript/TypeScript and React, with experience building responsive interfaces
- Solid experience building backend APIs with Python (Django preferred)
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud environments like AWS
- Experience integrating with payment systems, third-party APIs, or billing platforms is a plus
- You value collaboration, pairing, and async communication in a remote team environment
- You’re customer-focused. Whether internal or external, you care about solving real problems and creating great experiences
- You love learning and are curious about ambiguous or novel problems. You’re comfortable asking questions, digging in, and figuring things out
- You’ve used AI tooling for work or personal use—or you are willing to dive in and learn fast. You explore new tools, workflows, and ideas to make things more efficient, and are eager to deepen your understanding of AI and use it regularly
What the job involves
- Zapier’s Revenue Zone is where product meets payments — and where customers truly experience the value of Zapier
- Whether they’re choosing a plan, managing their subscription, or checking usage, we believe those moments should feel effortless, transparent, and trustworthy
- We’re hiring a Fullstack Engineer to help us build and evolve the infrastructure behind these moments
- You’ll work on the systems that power billing, payments, plan selection, usage tracking, and more — and play a critical role in making these experiences reliable, flexible, and user-friendly
- The Revenue Zone owns how Zapier is packaged, priced, and purchased — and how those systems evolve with our customers
- We work across two cross-functional teams:
- Team Payments builds the systems behind billing, invoicing, subscription management, and payment processing. Their work ensures customers can reliably pay for Zapier — and get the value they expect
- Team Catalog focuses on how we present pricing, help customers choose the right plan, and support internal tooling for packaging and offers
- Together, we build and maintain the infrastructure that supports pricing, payments, subscriptions, and customer visibility into their accounts — while keeping reliability, performance and clarity top of mind
- In this role you'll build and maintain pricing and plan selection UIs
- Develop backend services that manage subscriptions, usage tracking, and payment flows
- Collaborate with design, product, and data to deliver performant, user-centered experiences
- Work across the stack to modernize legacy systems and improve platform scalability
- Help define new interfaces between systems — e.g., billing APIs, pricing engines, entitlements, plan change workflowsensure code reliability
- Ship features that improve transparency, reliability, and flexibility in how customers pay for Zapier
- Modernize the tech stack behind core billing and packaging infrastructure
- Collaborate with Product, Finance, and Support teams to reduce friction and drive adoption
- Contribute to a high-delivery team that values fast feedback and continuous improvement
- The Revenue Zone is responsible for the experience every paying customer has with Zapier — and that means your work directly supports the company’s business growth
Application process
- We ask that you answer a few in-depth questions in our application that would typically be asked at the start of an interview process
- Please be sure to answer each question; the resume and CV fields are optional
- Education is not a requirement for our roles; however, if you receive an offer, you will need to include your most recent educational experience as part of our background check process
- After you apply, you are going to hear back from us—even if we don’t see an immediate fit with our team
- In fact, throughout the process, we strive to never go more than seven days without letting you know the status of your application
- The anticipated application window is 30 days from the date job is posted, unless the number of applicants requires it to close sooner or later, or if the position is filled
Our take
Even before remote working became the "in thing", freelancers, small business owners, and large organisations have found themselves needing more and more software platforms to serve their operations needs. As people used more software services, Zapier founders saw the need to connect the actions between these softwares and save everyone some time.
Zapier is the largest integration and automation tool for businesses. Since being founded, Zapier has grown its suite of automation offerings across almost every mainstream software service. The company is one of the most successful to come out of Y Combinator, and has also been one of the pioneers of remote working.
Zapier has so far, been able to capitalise heavily on its advantage as first entrants and has had very little actual competition. Software services aren't going anywhere anytime soon and organisations are only going to need more of them. This puts Zapier in a strong place growth-wise but also opens up room for bolder companies to get in on the action. Companies like Airtable and Integromat are already preying on more niche segments of Zapier's market share.

Additional info
- As a fully remote company with 800+ team members across 40+ states, 38 countries, and 18+ timezones, we’ve adopted a culture of asynchronous work. This work style allows teams to collaborate effectively across locations, time zones, skills, and each individual’s energy levels, and empowers employees to work in a setting that fits their needs. In practice, we live on Slack, with most conversations in public channels. It mimics the open-office feel and allows everyone to search the chat logs if they need to find something that happened when they weren’t around
