Zapier is a leading automation platform that enables users to connect and automate workflows across more than 7,000 applications. Known for its no-code approach, Zapier empowers individuals and teams to streamline tasks by creating automated processes called "Zaps," which link triggers and actions between different apps. The platform is trusted by millions of users globally, including 87% of Forbes Cloud 100 companies, offering solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency in various business functions.

📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate the CI/CD systems, release orchestration, and testing infrastructure that every Zapier engineer depends on. • Define and evolve the golden paths for how code gets built, tested, and shipped at Zapier. • Own end-to-end delivery of complex initiatives, from design doc through rollout and impact measurement. • Build internal tooling and APIs that make Zapier engineers more effective and reduce time from merge to production. • Debug complex production issues across pipelines and release systems, participate in incident response, and drive systemic improvements. • Lead technical design discussions and write clear documentation that influences decisions across teams. • Mentor engineers on the team and raise the technical bar through code reviews, design feedback, and knowledge sharing. • Partner with the cloud/infra SRE team on the boundary between platform foundation and the delivery layer on top of it.

🎯 Requirements

• You have real depth in CI/CD systems, testing strategy, and release orchestration — not just as a user, but as someone who has built or meaningfully improved these systems. • You have hands-on experience with platform tools such as GitLab CI, Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD, Terraform, or similar. You don't just use these tools — you build and improve the systems around them. • You take loosely defined problems and drive them to production, writing design docs, defining success criteria, and following through on rollout and measurement without being told to. • You think in systems, not components, and design solutions with downstream users, second-order effects, and long-term maintainability in mind. • You have strong backend or fullstack engineering fundamentals and have built and operated production APIs and services at scale (TypeScript, Node.js, Python, or equivalent). • You are comfortable making pragmatic technical decisions under uncertainty and can articulate your reasoning clearly. • You use AI tools actively in your engineering workflow and think critically about where they add value versus where you need to validate outputs carefully. • You collaborate effectively across teams in an async-first environment, aligning stakeholders and communicating tradeoffs without losing momentum. • You raise the bar around you through code review, design feedback, and contributing to team practices and standards.
