Hi there!
We're looking for a Team Lead Engineer to join the Zap Creation team at Zapier. Zapier’s on a mission to make everyone more productive at work, and our product has helped millions of people build businesses through the power of automation.
The Zap Creation team has the important job of building and maintaining the core of the Zapier product: the workflow editor. This team owns the full-stack experience our customers use to create Zaps. The team's work is integral to Zapier's customer experience, so the Zap Creation team needs to work closely with multiple stakeholders as Zapier evolves through constantly shipping new features.
If you’re interested in advancing your career at a fast-growing, profitable, impact-driven company, then read on...
You are an effective team builder. You are early in your management journey, with at least one year of experience leading a team of Engineers, and you want to grow into engineering management. Team Leads at Zapier have around 3-4 direct reports.
You’re a product thinker. As a Team Lead, you’ve worked to set goals, metrics, and a strategy for a product-focused Engineering team. You push your team to prioritize impactful work to meet the company’s goals.
You can keep track of, prioritize, and lead multiple projects. We're a small team, and there's no shortage of things you could be doing in a day. You'll carve out time for functional projects and make sure they solve real problems the team faces -- ideally making development even easier.
You have excellent communication skills. You regularly work with engineers and other stakeholders from various disciplines, balancing engineering concerns such as technical debt with product concerns. Ideally, you find solutions that address both the team and user needs but if not, help build understanding around difficult decisions.
You are a skilled engineering leader. You've got a strong background in leading a team of Engineers working in our stack (Python & Django or ES6 & React, etc.). While you may not write code for critical-path features, you still push your team to improve the quality of the final product.
You're adaptable. You've been in fast-growing companies and know how to build, change, and adapt to the needs of a company as it grows.
