Role
Who you are
- You care deeply about the “why” behind the work—not just what you’re building, but how it drives outcomes for the business and the user
- You bring a strong sense of ownership and visibility, communicating clearly across functions and proactively aligning work to priorities
- You move with a continuous, iterative mindset, balancing speed and quality as you ship, learn, and evolve
- You find energy in mentoring others, giving thoughtful feedback, and helping raise the bar for your team
- If you’re eager to help shape how millions discover and adopt automation powered by AI, here’s what we’re looking for in our next hire
- You have 6+ years of experience with a minimum of 2 years at a senior level
- You've dedicated at least 4 of those years to crafting and refining web-based software products
- You’re a Frontend engineer with a passion for building scalable systems for high-traffic websites
- Deep experience with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, with a track record of delivering high-quality front-end experiences at scale
- Experience building high-traffic, performance-sensitive web applications, especially for consumer-facing merchandising or content discovery surfaces. Bonus if this were in SaaS. You have experience using Algolia or other search providers to build a programmatic merchandising
- You know how to navigate visibility. Your work has been seen and scrutinized by customers, execs, and marketing, and you’ve learned to balance feedback, performance, and polish
- You collaborate deeply. You partner naturally with product, design, and marketing. You give thoughtful feedback, build trust, and challenge decisions constructively
- You work well at the edge of systems. You’re fluent in OpenAPI and/or GraphQL, and you regularly shape how front-ends interact with data models, APIs, and orchestration engines. You give thoughtful, opinionated feedback on API design and usability, and know how to spot when it will break the UX or slow AI iteration
- You’re AI-curious and fast-moving. You’ve experimented with tools like Copilot, V0.dev, or OpenAI APIs. You’re not intimidated by the AI space—you’re excited to shape how it meets users
- Experience with performance and observability tools such as Datadog, New Relic, or Lighthouse for identifying and addressing bottlenecks
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Senior Front-End Engineer to join Team Sprout, the team responsible for Zapier’s entire templates ecosystem
- This surface drives a high percentage of signups and expansion revenue
- As our dedicated front-end lead, you’ll help shape a high-visibility system that spans top-of-funnel discovery, in-product implementation, and AI-native experiences—serving individual builders and enterprise teams alike
- Zapier is a remote-first, fast-growing company, and the Growth Zone works across many different cross-functional areas of the business
- Build a world-class marketplace: Whether it’s an AI, Google crawler, or direct customer, we want to make it dead simple to find what to automate next using Zapier
- Personalize the customer journey: Leverage our expanded dataset of customer data to personalize the customer journey using LLMs and ML technologies so that customers know what to build next without having to think
- Collaborate with Product and Design Teams: Work in unison with our product, design, and UX teams to envisage and develop products with intuitive user experiences, making the interconnection of diverse apps seamless
- Craft Frontend UIs: Design visually appealing and highly performant user interfaces that resonate with our user base
- Monitor System Health: Regularly check system reliability and performance, ensuring high availability and optimal user experience
- Resolve Bugs and Address Feature Requests: Dive deep into any reported issues, ensuring they're resolved promptly, and constantly look for areas of improvement based on user feedback
- Collaborate Across Teams: Engage with various teams and stakeholders throughout Zapier, bringing value to our customers in innovative ways
Application process
- 20 June 2025 at 08:00 BST
- All we ask is that you answer a few in-depth questions in our application that would typically be asked at the start of an interview process
- This helps speed things up by letting us get to know you and your skillset a bit better right out of the gate. 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
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
