Role
Who you are
- If you’re passionate about bridging design and engineering, crafting delightful, accessible, and high-fidelity experiences, and ensuring our product feels cohesive, intuitive, and expressive, we’d love to hear from you
- If you thrive on the intersection of design and engineering—turning pixels and prototypes into production-quality, accessible, and maintainable interfaces—this role is for you
- Strong experience in React and TypeScript, with deep attention to code quality, maintainability, and performance
- 1+ years of production experience in chat user experience and a strong interest in AI chat developments
- Demonstrated ability to translate Figma (or similar) design systems into scalable, production-ready component libraries
- A keen eye for visual polish, interaction detail, and animation quality
- Fluency in accessibility standards (WCAG, ARIA) and inclusive design principles
- Familiarity with design tokens, component theming, and responsive layout systems
- Experience documenting patterns, components, and motion guidelines for shared use
- A track record of tight collaboration with Product Designers to maintain high design fidelity
- Curiosity and craft—someone who obsesses over the small details that make big differences
- (Nice to have) Comfort with lightweight backend integration or prototyping tools (e.g., Next.js, Storybook, or Framer)
- A mindset of continuous improvement—across tools, process, and personal growth
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a UX Engineer to join our Copilot team to support chatbots
- Build experiences used by millions of users worldwide
- Champion design fidelity, accessibility, and motion quality across teams
- Create interaction patterns that make complex systems feel effortless
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams across Product, Design, and Support
- Work in a high-ownership environment with visible user impact and fast iteration
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
