We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to join the Revenue Growth engineering team at Zapier. Want to build the UI experiences empowering automation for the most influential internet APIs? Then keep reading!

About You

• You love to code. You love to take raw ideas and build great products with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You know JavaScript is imperfect, but you embrace its functional side and genuinely enjoy coding with it. You might like to talk about obscure computer science topics, but really, you just want to write simple code and ship new products and features to customers (or improve existing ones).
• You love great UX. You spend most of your time coding, but you also have an eye for great design and a feel for great UX. Maybe you were once a designer (or still are) or maybe your creative outlet has always been the code. Either way, you care about more than just the code.
• You love learning new things. You love researching new tech and driving forward with the implementation details. Your focus is on front-end JavaScript code, but you can dig in wherever needed. Python, CSS, build tools, shell scripts, you name it. If you don’t already know it, you’re ready to learn it.
• You can balance lots of concerns. Frontend apps have to take into account performance (using networks and devices that we can’t control), customer demands, A/B tests, UX research, accessibility, code quality, a rapidly changing ecosystem of languages and modules, and the list goes on. And we actually want to ship things too! You can balance those demands without getting overwhelmed and keep the needle moving forward.
• You love helping others. You love sharing knowledge with the rest of your team, building shared tooling for other engineers, giving back to the open-source community, and directly helping customers.

Things You Might Do

Zapier is a small, fast-growing, and remote-first company, so you’ll likely get experience on many different projects across the organization. That said, here are some things you’ll probably do:

• Work cross-functionally to make Zapier’s value clear to customers, we want to make buying Zapier an easy decision. Your home team includes Engineering, Product Management, and Design. Your vital partners include our colleagues in Decision Science and Support teams.
• Research, guide, and execute front-end architecture changes, including but by no means limited to GraphQL, server-side React rendering, and TypeScript typing.
• Build reusable React components with modular CSS, manage data on the client with GraphQL, and test everything with Jest.
• Design and implement experiments, promotions, and features highlighting the value of Zapier.
• As a part of Zapier’s all-hands philosophy, help customers via support to ensure they have the best experience possible.
• Review code was written by other team members or other teams.
• Ship to hundreds of thousands of users every day while having lots of autonomy in terms of code and feature ownership.
• Share what you know and learn either one-on-one or with lightning talks to the group.
• Give back to the community via open source and blog posts.
• You’ll also have the opportunity to specialize in a variety of areas of the Zapier codebase, including core product or platform development. Focusing on specialization will not limit your area for growth at Zapier as each engineer brings a unique perspective and can contribute differently to all areas. We encourage participation and will frequently have engineers contribute across teams to assist in projects.
