Who you are

• If you love designing intuitive systems, working across the stack (with a tilt toward backend), and enabling automation at scale — this is the team for you
• 3+ years of experience building and maintaining production systems
• Strong backend experience using Python (Django preferred), Node.js, or similar frameworks
• Familiarity with frontend tools like React and TypeScript, and a willingness to contribute as needed
• Experience designing and consuming REST APIs, event-based systems, and scalable backend workflows
• Comfort working across cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and observability stacks
• Interest in building for internal developer experience and platform scalability
• You value collaboration, pairing, and async communication in a remote team environment
• You’re customer-focused. Whether internal or external, you care about solving real problems and creating great experiences
• You love learning and are curious about ambiguous or novel problems. You’re comfortable asking questions, digging in, and figuring things out
• You’ve used AI tooling for work or personal use—or you are willing to dive in and learn fast
• You explore new tools, workflows, and ideas to make things more efficient, and are eager to deepen your understanding of AI and use it regularly

What the job involves

• We’re hiring a Fullstack Engineer (backend-leaning) to help us improve the infrastructure and developer experience that supports Zapier’s integrations
• You’ll contribute to internal tooling, user-facing surfaces, and backend services that support app developers, internal product teams, and the broader Zapier ecosystem
• Our mission is to make Zapier the most connected, enterprise-ready AI orchestration platform in the world. That means:
• Building high-quality, AI-optimized integrations
• Supporting automation builders through better integration surfaces and dev tools
• Maintaining a scalable backend that powers both partner apps and our internal platform
• Enabling features like Zapier Copilot, multi-result search actions, and developer orchestration tooling
• We prioritize quality, reusability, and developer experience — not just scale for scale’s sake
• You'll build and maintain internal tools, APIs, and user interfaces that support integration development and management
• Work primarily in backend systems, with the ability to contribute to frontend code (React, TypeScript) as needed
• Improve and modernize legacy systems tied to integrations, orchestration, or developer workflows
• Collaborate with platform and product teams to build reusable features used by integration developers and internal squads
• Partner with AI and infrastructure teams to support code generation, structured outputs, and test automation
• Help define and implement improvements to our developer-facing surfaces, including dashboards and docs
• This role sits at the core of Zapier’s long-term platform vision. In this role, you’ll:
• Ship improvements that directly affect how Zapier builds and maintains integrations
• Contribute to surfaces and tooling used by our internal teams and third-party developers
• Help prepare Zapier’s platform for LLM-driven orchestration and smarter automation
• Influence the architecture and developer experience that powers the Zapier ecosystem
• Join us in building the future of integration — and enabling automation for millions
