About Zapier

Zapier is on a mission to make automation work for everyone. They empower businesses of all sizes to automate tedious tasks and streamline workflows across over 8,000 applications without needing to write a single line of code. This integration platform allows you to connect disparate apps like Salesforce, Google, and Dropbox, moving data between them automatically. Zapier helps millions of people and businesses become more efficient, enabling them to focus on the work that truly matters. They've automated over 81 billion tasks and have more than 25 million Zaps (automated workflows) created to date.

How We Work

Zapier is a fully remote organization, operating across over 38 countries with 800+ employees. This global distribution means a strong emphasis on asynchronous communication, transparency, and trust. They prioritize clear documentation and open discussions, ensuring everyone has the context needed to contribute effectively. You'll find a culture that values progress over perfection, encouraging quick decisions and continuous learning. Leaders act as coaches, fostering autonomy and unblocking teams, rather than controlling them.

Engineering at Zapier

Zapier's robust and flexible technology stack allows them to manage and automate tasks across thousands of applications. The backend is primarily built with Python and the Django framework, utilizing Celery for distributed task processing and the requests library for API interactions. For data storage, Zapier employs a combination of relational databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, alongside NoSQL databases for flexible data handling. Their infrastructure runs on AWS, leveraging services like EC2 and RDS with autoscaling. Frontend development utilizes React.js for a seamless user experience. Engineers at Zapier solve challenges related to scaling automation for high volumes, reducing latency across millions of daily executions, and building intuitive, resilient workflow authoring experiences. They are also pioneering AI orchestration, developing foundational systems for AI agents to interact with third-party systems and creating AI-powered tools for workflow creation and troubleshooting. This involves working with technologies like TypeScript and Node.js for backend services, and potentially exploring AI coding assistants and machine learning to optimize development pipelines.
