Role
Who you are
- 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 Fullstack engineer with an expertise in Frontend
- Strong expertise in using TypeScript and React for building web applications
- Experience with OpenAPI for defining developer-friendly APIs
- Proficiency in working with PostgreSQL
- Using tools like Datadog for monitoring and performance optimization, and to identify and address performance bottlenecks
Desirable
- You live by the "always ship new code" mantra. You take pleasure in releasing code frequently, knowing that every deployment brings with it enhancements that directly impact users. You believe in frequent, iterative improvement
- You value collaboration. You understand that building software is a team sport, and you enjoy working as part of a tight-knit team. You’re happy to pitch in and help the team, whether by reviewing code, pairing on a tricky problem, or just thinking about how to solve the challenges we’re facing
- You're driven by results, not by process. In the ever-changing landscape of software development, you recognize that while processes are essential, they should never overshadow the end goal: delivering exceptional value
- You care about the 'why' more than the 'what'. If priorities seem nebulous or not optimized, you're confident and proactive in seeking clarity, ensuring that the team's efforts align with the broader vision. Misalignments don't escape you, and you're quick to flag them
- You're intentional and articulate. Every design choice you make stems from a place of intentionality. You're not one to follow the herd blindly. Instead, you advocate robustly for your design choices and implementation strategies
- You love teaching. You enjoy sharing knowledge with the rest of your team and building a culture of continuous growth. You have experience coaching engineers to help them level up
- You're an avid learner. The tech world's constant evolution excites you. Always on the prowl for the next big thing, you're quick to immerse yourself in the intricacies of its implementation
- You have experience using LLMs to build features
- Experience with Tailwind or styled-components
- Experience with Fastify

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
