Sr. Software Engineer (AI Orchestration Zone, Frontend Leaning)
Zapier’s Agents Team is building one of the most transformative products in the company’s history — Zapier Agents, an AI-powered automation assistant that helps users delegate work across 8,000+ apps using natural language and real user workflows.
We’re hiring Senior Full Stack Engineers (frontend leaning) to help take this product from powerful prototype to intuitive, reliable, and production-scale experience. You’ll collaborate closely with AI experts, product managers, designers, and platform engineers to bring LLM-native workflows to life — with users and usability always at the center.
Zapier Agents is a new and fast-moving product at the intersection of AI, automation, and product-led growth. In this role, you’ll:
-
Design and build features that allow users to delegate tasks and orchestrate workflows using natural language
-
Contribute to backend systems that manage agent memory, reasoning, execution, and system integrations
-
Build and refine user-facing features and interfaces for initiating, monitoring, and guiding agent behavior
-
Collaborate with AI and platform teams to connect Zapier Agents with core orchestration infrastructure
-
Own projects end-to-end — from scoping and architecture to implementation, testing, and support
-
Improve developer experience, observability, and deployment pipelines as the product matures
Requirements
We’re looking for frontend leaning fullstack engineers who bring:
6+ years of experience building and maintaining production web applications, including 2+ years in a senior-level role
Experience working across the stack — with React/TypeScript/Next.js on the frontend and Python or Node.js on the backend
Comfort designing and consuming REST APIs, managing state, and working with real-time user interactions
Familiarity with LLM-powered systems, semantic search, or AI orchestration frameworks is a plus
Experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka/SQS, or other modern backend infrastructure
You lead with curiosity, pragmatism, and clarity — especially in fast-evolving, ambiguous spaces
You’re user- and outcome-oriented: you care about building the right thing, not just the technically elegant one
You’ve used AI tooling for work or personal use—or you are willing to dive in and learn fast. You explore new tools, workflows, and ideas to make things more efficient, and are eager to deepen your understanding of AI and use it regularly
