Company mission
Zapier's mission is to Make Automation Work for Everyone!
Role
Who you are
- If you’re excited by developer platforms, shipping with engineers, and building the tools that power the rest of the product, you’ll love this role
- Technically fluent. You’ve been an engineer or worked closely with developer products. You’re comfortable discussing APIs, SDKs, and tooling trade-offs with engineering
- Energized by platform impact. You thrive when success means empowering thousands of integration builders, both internal engineers and external partners, to move faster and build better
- Experienced with mature products. You know how to navigate the complexity of long-lived platforms, balancing incremental improvement with bold upgrades while maintaining reliability for a massive existing ecosystem
- A natural influencer. You can get cross-functional teams and stakeholders to buy in, align on what’s best for the entire integration ecosystem, and build together
- Comfortable with the innovation spectrum. You can seamlessly move between optimizing proven platform tools and pioneering experimental AI workflows, understanding how they complement each other in service of the same mission
- Product-minded platform thinker. You excel at understanding how internal products evolve and translating those needs into upstream platform capabilities, preventing downstream teams from building workarounds for problems better solved at the platform level
What the job involves
- Zapier is hiring a Senior or Lead Product Manager to drive the future of our Developer Platform and Scout teams.
- These are the core tools that enable our integration ecosystem to grow, scale, and evolve—with less manual effort and more intelligence
- In this role, you’ll shape how developers (internal and external) build and maintain integrations on Zapier
- You’ll own proven, widely used platform capabilities—and pair them with new AI-powered tools that help authors move faster, avoid breakage, and automate more of the build lifecycle
- Your work will make integration development easier, smarter, and 10x more scalable
- Own the complete integration development lifecycle by evolving Zapier’s Developer Platform (improving integration tooling, enabling partner-owned integration maintenance, reducing bugs) while simultaneously pioneering AI-powered development acceleration through Scout
- Drive a unified product vision that connects mature platform capabilities with emerging AI tools, ensuring new innovations enhance rather than fragment the developer experience
- Partner with engineering to deliver reliable, scalable systems that serve both immediate platform needs and long-term ecosystem automation goals
- Rally other squads around shared platform goals, selling the vision of intelligent, self-improving integration tooling, building consensus, and driving collaborative delivery
- Translate complex technical opportunities into compelling product cases that demonstrate how platform stability and AI innovation create compound value for our 8,000+ app ecosystem
- Define success metrics across the full spectrum—from platform reliability and developer productivity to AI automation effectiveness—and adapt roadmaps to ensure maximum impact
- Act as the primary liaison between internal product teams and the Developer Platform, proactively identifying when multiple teams are solving similar problems independently and consolidating those solutions into shared platform capabilities
Application process
- Deadline to Apply: November 14, 2025 at 8:00 AM GMT
- Additionally, because Zapier is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas or transfers
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
