About You

 

You’re a solid and flexible software developer.

You have at least 3-5 years of experience as a Software Developer in a professional environment. You’re comfortable juggling frontend and backend code, mostly in JavaScript and Python. You thrive on connecting the dots between the big-picture view and the intricate nuances of each specific feature. Knowledge of or experience with frameworks like React, Next and Django or similar are super helpful, too.

You’re an excellent written communicator.

We’re a 100% remote team, and writing is our primary means of communication at Zapier. We thrive on asynchronous communication, so keeping your teammates and stakeholders up-to-date and on the same page is essential.

You love to learn new things.

Zapier’s Support org is very nimble and dynamic. In order to give them the best tools possible, our team must always be learning about new tools, APIs, and integrations. If you love to spend time digging into new frameworks, workflows, and languages, you’ll feel right at home here.

You’re creative and resourceful.

You approach ambiguous challenges with confidence, diligence, and a willingness to experiment and try new things.

You care about taking care of customers — and taking care of the people who care for them, too.

Our Support team is full of brilliant, enthusiastic, and warm folks who work really hard to ensure the support experience we provide our customers is always improving and adapting to their changing needs and our growing company. For our team, success happens when we accelerate, solidify, and empower our Support colleagues’ work while also removing as many headaches and roadblocks as possible.

You’re solid at time management.

You’ll juggle a variety of projects at any given time, and as a part of a distributed team, you’ll be trusted to work with minimal supervision. As a part of a growing company, you have an opportunity to make a big impact, and you’re keen to build processes that’ll make your job more efficient over time.


Things You’ll Do

  • Develop and maintain tools, apps, and systems that empower our team to provide an excellent support experience to our customers
  • Help develop code standards and best practices within the Support Systems Engineering team through frequent code reviews, sharing knowledge, and documenting how we work best
  • Monitor our tools and services for reliability and respond to bugs and feature requests from our Support colleagues
  • Serve as a technical expert within the Support Operations team to help determine team-wide priorities and levels of effort
  • Refine and optimize how we work by participating in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospective sessions
  • Mentor aspiring engineers and first-time developers from throughout the company on technical and collaborative skills
  • As a part of our All Hands Support initiative, help customers have the best possible experience with Zapier

America's & EMEA

Our distributed environment lets us work with the best people. You don't have to be located in the USA either.

You just need the skills and drive to succeed in this role and the ability to work from anywhere.

  • Time to renew. We encourage Zapiens to take at least 2 weeks off each year. Most of us take 4-5 weeks, in addition to locally recognized holidays.

  • Opportunity to work with Zapier’s amazing partners network [7]

*While we take care of Zapiens around the world the best we can, healthcare and retirement plans are currently available specifically in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and United States.

 

How to Apply

We have a non-standard application process designed to promote inclusion and equity. We first ask a few questions in our application form that would typically be asked at the start of an initial interview. This helps speed up the process and lets us get to know you a bit better right out of the gate. Please be sure to answer each question; the resume and CV fields are optional.

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 make sure you never go more than seven days without hearing from us.

We're excited to work with talented and empathetic people, and do not discriminate based on race, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status, genetic information, pregnancy, age, or any other status protected by local law.
