- Our Commitment to Applicants
- Culture and Values at Zapier
- Zapier Guide to Remote Work
- Zapier Code of Conduct
- Diversity and Inclusivity at Zapier
- Strong expertise in using Next.js and React.js for building web applications and server-rendered pages.
- Experience with tRPC for building strongly-typed, type-safe APIs
- Proficiency in working with Prisma ORM for database interactions, particularly when paired with PostgreSQL.
- Experience with deploying applications to Vercel.
- Using tools like Datadog for monitoring and performance optimization, and to identify and address performance bottlenecks.
- You live by the "always ship new code" mantra. You take immense pleasure in releasing code frequently, knowing that every deployment brings with it enhancements, new features, or solutions that directly impact users. This drive to constantly ship isn't just about quantity for you; it's rooted in your belief that iterative improvement, driven by real-world feedback, is the key to creating truly outstanding software. You're always on the lookout for opportunities to refine, innovate, and deliver, ensuring that users continually benefit from your relentless dedication to progress.
- You value collaboration. You understand that building modern software is a team sport, and you enjoy working as part of a tight-knit team. You’re happy to pitch in and help the team, whether by reviewing code, pairing on a tricky problem, or just thinking about how to solve the challenges we’re facing.
- You're driven by results, not by process. In the ever-changing landscape of software development, you recognize that while processes are essential, they should never overshadow the end goal: delivering exceptional value. Your modus operandi involves light yet effective process and technical planning. You are adept at navigating through challenges with agility, ensuring that the emphasis remains on outcomes rather than getting entangled in procedures.
- You care about the 'why' more than the 'what'. Your approach to engineering isn't just about ticking boxes or following directives. You deeply value clarity and purpose in your work. If priorities seem nebulous or not optimized, you're confident and proactive in seeking clarity, ensuring that the team's efforts align with the broader vision. Misalignments don't escape your keen eye, and you're quick to flag them, ensuring that the team remains on a coherent and impactful trajectory.
- You're intentional and articulate. Every design choice you make, every line of code you write, stems from a place of intentionality. You're not one to follow the herd blindly. Instead, you advocate robustly for your design choices and implementation strategies. Actively seeking feedback is second nature to you, and you thrive in environments where technical discussions are encouraged. When faced with roadblocks, you're not one to merely raise the flag. You're proactive in identifying those who can provide solutions or even devising alternative approaches. Your approach to engineering isn't dogmatic; you're flexible, adaptable, and always prepared to explain the rationale behind your decisions.
- You embody the "let's make it work" ethos. Challenges, whether monumental or minuscule, don't deter you. You dive in with a can-do attitude, unfazed by the magnitude or nature of the task. You understand that in the broader scheme of things, not every task will be about building the next flashy feature. Sometimes, it's about fortifying the foundations, ensuring that the system is robust and resilient. You're discerning enough to know when to invest time in hardening the system versus when to prioritize speed. In essence, you're a true team player, understanding that every task, no matter how glamorous or mundane, plays a pivotal role in the team's collective success.
- 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. We actually want to ship things too! You can balance those demands without getting overwhelmed and keep the needle moving forward.
- You advocate for the user. Your commitment to the end user is unwavering. With a keen eye for design and deep-rooted empathy, any indication of user challenges becomes a personal mission for you. This drive pushes you to delve deeper, understand the core issues, and guide your team towards enhancing the product experience.
- You're an avid learner. The tech world's constant evolution excites you. Always on the prowl for the next big thing, you're quick to immerse yourself in the intricacies of its implementation. While TypeScript and React are your fortresses, you're not one to shy away from challenges, whether they come in the form of Python, CSS, build tools, or shell scripts. If it's uncharted territory, you're gearing up to master it.
- Your technical expertise stands out. You are experienced in owning technically challenging and demanding cross-functional projects. Proficiency in TypeScript and React isn't just a line on your resume; it's a testament to your dedication and skill. Experience with tRPC and Vercel is the icing on the cake. Beyond your formidable technical acumen, your unwavering commitment to marrying swift delivery with top-tier code quality, all in pursuit of maximizing user value, is what truly sets you apart.
