Senior Backend Engineer
RasaFull Time
Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should have experience in backend or fullstack software engineering, with a preference for backend-leaning skills. Experience with building robust systems, enabling advanced user workflows, and shaping the future of automation is desired. Familiarity with modern development tools and remote work flexibility is also a plus.
The role involves building and scaling the core engine that powers Zapier's automation platform, focusing on reliability, intelligence, and advanced user workflows. Responsibilities include redesigning and modernizing the Zap creation experience, building flexible UI components, and contributing to foundational infrastructure. Additionally, the role involves building systems for error detection, surfacing, and explanation to aid users in debugging workflows, as well as developing and maintaining the execution engine to handle millions of daily runs, improve system performance, and reduce latency.
Automation platform for web application workflows
Zapier connects various web applications to help users automate their workflows and improve productivity. It allows users to create 'Zaps,' which are automated workflows that link different apps to carry out specific tasks without needing technical skills. This platform is particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized businesses and individual professionals who want to save time on repetitive tasks. Unlike many competitors, Zapier offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for anyone to set up automations. The company operates on a subscription model, providing different pricing tiers based on the number of Zaps and tasks a user requires, with the goal of making automation accessible to a wider audience.
