About You

 

You can build scalable web apps. You have at least 4+ years of software development building web-based software products, with a focus on frontend development. You’ve worked across the stack and, while you have strong experience with front-end frameworks, you can dive into any aspect of an application. Zapier Interfaces is built on Next.js, React, Typescript, tRPC, Node.js, AWS, and Vercel.

You have a high sense of ownership over your work. You are a high-velocity learner who loves implementing features end-end. You are comfortable working with technical risk and can navigate technical ambiguity. You are not afraid to venture into the backend in the benefit of self-sufficiency.  You enjoy the freedom to make design and architecture decisions on the fly and can advocate for your decisions.

You have a strong product mindset. You enjoy venturing outside your engineering role and want to understand why decisions are made. You can communicate technical trade-offs and propose solutions that optimize value-shipping speed. You often make proactive recommendations on how the product should work based on customer feedback and are not shy to share your ideas. You love coaching other engineers on developing a product mindset as well.

You are a team player and a strong communicator. You know how to advocate for your ideas and enjoy interactions with other engineers and non-engineers alike. You are a smooth communicator who can collaborate with other senior engineers effectively. You are constantly looking for ways to improve team processes, reduce bugs, and reduce technical debt.

 

You care deeply about users. You spend most of your time coding but you talk to customers and are driven by solving their needs. You contribute to design and product strategy discussions with the broader team and know that you all share the same end goal - build the best product for our users.

 

You have a systems-oriented mindset. You're inquisitive. You build a deep understanding of problems and are good at spotting patterns. You understand how to design and implement complex, dynamic, logic driven solutions that can be configured in many different ways. 

 

You value our values. At Zapier, our values are at the heart of how we work together and how we think about our customers. As a remote-first company, our values help develop trust and ensure we collaborate effectively to democratize automation. You recognize how our values can empower meaningful work, you thrive in a collaborative setting, you are eager to continue growing, and you’re excited to be part of the team.

 

While we don't require a specific number of years of experience, senior software engineers at Zapier typically have 7+ years of professional engineering experience, with at
