Hi There!

Zapier is leading the way in AI automation. We’ve helped small businesses increase productivity and serve their customers better through an extensive platform of integrations, robust workflow automations, and practical AI applications. As we continue our mission to make automation work for everyone, our current focus is to unlock that vast potential within Enterprise customers—organizations comprising dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of employees. These companies already recognize the value of automation; we are now empowering them to implement it at scale, ensuring control, visibility, and confidence in their chosen tools.

To do this, Zapier is expanding its Enterprise zone and seeking several highly motivated Senior Backend and Sr. backend leaning Full Stack Engineers. We are looking for experts passionate about solving complex problems and delivering new value to customers, driving innovation in workflow management, and changing the future of automation use for some of the largest companies in industry.

The Enterprise zone is made up of several teams. We’re currently hiring several Backend or Back-leaning Fullstack engineers for 4 of them which are looking for similar skills. The teams are:

• Enterprise Experience

• Enterprise Response

• Asset Management

• Observability Platform
  

Team Focus

The Enterprise Experience team is tasked with pioneering new approaches for enterprise account/tool management rather than simply refining existing ones. Our foundational projects include:

• Developing the first user flows specifically for enterprise administrators and builders.

• Establishing a central hub for Account Admins to oversee and manage their accounts.

• Empowering Account Admins with expanded data insights and controls across all current and future product teams.

• Significantly improving the rest of our product's frontend to exceed current industry standards for enterprise-grade software.

• Creating essential features like:

  • Hierarchical account management

  • Cross-organizational visibility into usage and assets

  • User management, provisioning, and role assignments

The Enterprise Response team is crucial for maintaining the resilience and reliability of our systems, particularly during critical periods, mostly for our largest customers. This team innovates in high-demand customer areas and delivers highly requested core features that span multiple teams and organizational boundaries. This team touches every part of the stack and plays a critical role in ensuring our biggest customers get fast, dependable service.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead responses to critical incidents and customer-impacting events

• Collaborate across engineering, product, and support to solve urgent problems

• Build internal tools and improve core product features based on real-world, customer feedback

• Build a new extensible platform for account and organization-level settings, applying declarative controls, VPC connections to on-prem data, and instrumenting account-wide AI guardrail controls

• Work across the org, owning little but driving a lot, and directly interacting with stakeholders and customers.

The Asset Management team is responsible for building and scaling the systems that make every Zapier asset, across products and workspaces, discoverable, governable, and portable. You will be responsible for architecting and deepening enterprise-grade Platform APIs to manage assets across multiple products, ensuring consistency, reliability, and performance at scale for all of our customers.

In this role, you’ll:

• Design and implement scalable backend architecture and APIs for asset cataloguing, ownership, and security

• Build intuitive, unified interfaces for organizing, transferring, and governing assets across accounts and products

• Embed AI technology into core product experiences to proactively monitor and suggest optimizations to account management

• Drive technical alignment with senior leaders and stakeholders across the organization

• Deliver fast-paced solutions and POCs, prioritizing impact over deep polish, while balancing short-term execution with long-term technical vision

• Tackle challenges in data standards, compliance automation, and cross-product integrations

This team is central to Zapier’s multi-product strategy, unlocking faster product onboarding, reducing manual support burden, and delivering key enterprise capabilities.

The Enterprise Observability Platform team builds and maintains the core systems that support our Enterprise customers. We’re not following an existing playbook, we’re writing it. Here, you will help build a strong observability platform that connects and supports Zapier’s Enterprise products.

You’ll work on:

• Building scalable platforms like Notifications, Audit Logs, and Search to give customers better visibility, control, and access across Zapier.

• Supporting key use cases such as compliance, error tracking, and transactional alerts through reliable communication systems.

• Creating and improving observability features like SLOs, alerts, and dashboards to help Zapier grow.

• Strengthening core systems as we expand to serve larger and more complex customers.

• Leading important projects from start to finish — using AI to speed up development and improve the customer experience, while working closely with your team.

All of these roles are instrumental in ensuring Zapier can deliver on their upmarket strategy and mission. They’ll have direct impact in driving higher company ARR. These are high impact, high reward roles that will include far reaching features, new challenges, and close connection to customers each day.

High Visibility, High Impact

If you’re someone who thrives on ambitious goals and meaningful work, this is the team for you:

• Work on high-impact features that directly influence premium plan sales and help close strategic enterprise deals.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, Revenue, Support, and GTM teams.

• Work in a high-visibility area with strong leadership support and a clear growth path for engineers.

• Play a key role in Zapier’s growth trajectory—you’re not a cog in a machine, you’re part of the engine.

About You

You’ll be successful in these roles if:

• You’re a seasoned backend or fullstack builder. You have 6+ years of experience designing, developing and maintaining complex mission critical systems. You’re comfortable writing backend services (Python or Node.js ideal), and you’re not afraid to go deep into API design, database modeling, or CI/CD pipelines.

  • If you’re fullstack, you’re not afraid of diving into frontend challenges and understand typescript/react libraries to drive enterprise frontend performance.

• You understand and leverage AI tooling. You know how to use AI tools to accelerate your own development process (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor), and you also get excited about building systems that enable others to use AI effectively. You’ve worked with or implemented components like model context protocol or agent frameworks.

• You know even-driven systems and have strong platform thinking. You’ve built scalable tools that help other teams move faster and simpler. You’re familiar with systems like Kafka, SQS, and Fastify, and you’ve worked with observability tools like Datadog, Grafana, and Graylog.

• You lead with customer empathy and curiosity. You continuously seek context, ask great questions, and stay oriented to the bigger picture to meet the needs of customers to help them solve problems that matter to them.

• You bias toward action, especially when next steps aren’t obvious. You create structure, clarity, and momentum for the team surrounding your projects. You’re pragmatic and know when to ship fast and iterate - and when to sweat the details.

• You demonstrate an ownership mindset. You take initiative without needing top-down direction, but you’re also an effective communicator who can bring others with you. You have sound judgment, and balance user needs, technical constraints, and product goals in your decisions.

• You’re a self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity. You can turn loosely defined problems into concrete action, you follow through on commitments, and you surface blockers early to recruit help defining solutions.
