Role
Who you are
- You’re a skilled designer and are continually growing. You have 5-8 years experience designing digital products in a fast paced environment. You have a strong understanding of the product development and design thinking process, from discovery and shaping to detailed product design work. You are ever looking to grow your skills and impact as a designer. Excellent visual design skills and ability to contribute to our design system
- You optimize for speed of learning. You constantly search for signal from users. You understand how to synthesize insights and translate them into actionable plans. You communicate what you learn with your team and work with teammates to iterate on solutions
- You thrive when presented with the unknown. The bigger the problem, the bigger your resolve. You stay focused on optimizing outcomes regardless of the many paths that could lead to it. You embrace letting go of ideas and exploring new options
- You seek out input early and often. One of Zapier’s values is Growth Through Feedback and this applies to our design work too! You are comfortable setting your ego aside and getting other eyes on your work. You plan and facilitate collaborative sessions with other designers and cross-functional partners to build alignment
- You have experience bridging user goals and business value. You consider yourself a product designer and can point to work that you’ve done that helped scale the business and created user value. You understand that design is a balance of the two
- You are self-directed and process driven. We believe in systems and processes that help us scale our impact beyond our individual contributions. You effectively manage your own workload, create plans with cross-functional teammates and escalate project risks
- You’re a natural storyteller and great communicator. Zapier is 100% remote so impactful communication – visual, written and presentation – are crucial to communicating design work and collaborating with your team mates
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Integration Platform team to drive the rapid development, iteration, and learning we need to build an ecosystem that scales to meet any customer demand
- You’ll join a cross-functional group dedicated to expanding the breadth and depth of Zapier’s integrations
- You’ll work directly with customers and partners to provide experiences that maximize the power of Zapier’s growing ecosystem, and allow us to offer the most complete set of integrations on the internet
- Lead the creation of delightful user-centered experiences leveraging a solid design thinking process
- Champion UX best practices to ensure we are making informed design decisions together
- Work with your team to craft design solutions that solve user problems and impact business objectives
- Lead design discussions and present alternative solutions based on your understanding of user and business needs
- Continually learn about our users and our business to suggest new areas where we can run experiments
- Collaborate with designers, PMs, and engineers. Continuously share work at all stages early and often
- Deliver complete high-quality designs for delivery
- Use and improve established design patterns and help to create new ones when needed
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
