Role
Who you are
- You are an effective team builder. This isn't your first leadership role, and you've been in a direct leadership role for at least two years. You understand the benefits of building a diverse and inclusive engineering team. You may not have hired or managed hundreds of people before, but you have hired, trained, and managed at least a few engineers
- You’re a product thinker. As an Engineering Manager, you’ve worked to set goals, metrics, and a strategy for a product-focused Engineering team. You push your team to prioritize impactful work to meet the company’s goals
- You can keep track of, prioritize, and lead multiple projects. You have experience leading projects in Scrum. We're a small team, and there's no shortage of things you could be doing in a day. You'll carve out time for projects and make sure they solve real problems the team faces
- You have excellent communication skills. You regularly work with engineers and other stakeholders from various disciplines, balancing engineering concerns such as technical debt with product concerns. Ideally, you find solutions that address both the team and user needs but if not, help build understanding around difficult decisions
- You have a background in or strong interest in Cybersecurity. You don't need to be a security expert, but you are familiar with concepts like DevOps/DevSecOps, OWASP, and security tooling
- Deep customer empathy. You have empathy for our customers and our engineers who use our systems and are eager to make improvements for them. You seek to reduce toil and understand what it means to take a software engineering approach to security
What the job involves
- Collaborate across various disciplines (Product Managers, Designers, Researchers) to help set technical roadmaps that will achieve business goals through engineering best practices
- You’ll cultivate your team's talents to implement security solutions that are readily available to our software engineers, don't slow them down, and provide actionable recommendations. We look for the solution that automates the problem away, not the one that requires manual effort
- Your teams are working on multiple projects at the same time, so you have to prioritize and juggle resources accordingly
- Execute and deliver on the strategic vision of Product Security by identifying and delivering relevant backlog items
- Build rapport with each member of the Product Security group and support them through coaching and mentorship to help level up their skills
- Act as a second-in-command for the Head of Security

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 operational needs. As people used more software services, Zapier founders saw the need to connect the actions between these software and save everyone some time.
Zapier is the largest integration and automation tool for businesses. Since its founding, 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 a pioneer of remote working.
Zapier has so far been able to capitalise heavily on its advantage as one of the 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 position for growth, 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
