About You

You are experienced in building data pipelines, end to end, utilizing engineering best practices. You have been hands-on building modern data pipelines (from data in through to data out) in the cloud and are able to articulate tradeoffs in your architectural decisions on solutions you have worked on.

You know it’s better to deliver something real today over something maybe better later. You believe in the power of a project’s MVP and are able to appropriately scope out projects into sizeable chunks that provide value.  You believe in the test and learn framework to get feedback from end-users quickly.

You are a skilled written communicator. Zapier is a 100% remote team and writing is our primary means of communication. You can communicate about technical topics without unnecessary jargon. You are able to express your ideas in a non-threatening and open way. Your documentation is thorough, easy to follow and well organized.

You value testing your work properly before sharing with end-users.  The quality of your work and making sure it’s properly tested is important to you.  You are a strong proponent of automated testing and CI/CD.

You understand the power unlocked by building observable systems.  Tracking data flow through systems helps to shorten downtime.  When building new capabilities for stakeholders you consider how the data flow can be observed.

You appreciate our team’s values of eagerness to collaborate with diverse teammates from any function of the organization or with any level of data knowledge, iterating over your deliverables, and being curious.

You strive to learn about our stakeholders’ needs to accelerate the use of data so that we can improve our suite of solutions for Zapiens to use. All stakeholders have different needs that evolve over time, and you enjoy spending time learning about those needs and bringing those learnings to the team.

Things You Might Do
  • Develop capabilities that are efficient and reliable when ingesting and transforming data from product databases and APIs into the data warehouse. Our stack includes AWS tooling (Redshift, Glue, S3), Terraform, GitLab, DBT, Astronomer/Airflow, Kafka, Kubernetes, and Python.
  • Work with our stakeholders in Data Insights and other Product teams and help them surface interesting data back in the product for our users and partners to see.
  • Implement new capabilities from scratch or improve upon existing ones to ensure they meet the needs of stakeholders.
  • As a part of Zapier's all-hands philosophy, help customers via support (or other mechanisms) to ensure they have the best experience possible.
About Data at Zapier

Zapier relies on dozens of systems that emit data about Zapier and our potential and current users and partners. This data is useful for us to make a better product, better decisions, and understand our weaknesses and opportunities. The data team at Zapier pulls this data from DBs, APIs, and event streams, collocates it and then processes it through all the disparate systems to bring them together in a reliable, timely, performant, and easy to understand way to employees and systems that need it.  Zapier Data comprises various sub-teams which include: Data Foundations, Data Products, Core Warehouse (focused on core data assets and the data warehouse) and Data Insights (a group of embedded business-facing teams focused on exposing data in useful self-service form, extracting domain insights and recommending strategies based on their findings).

 

The Whole Package

Our fully remote, distributed environment enables us to work with awesome people from around the world. Our team members work from 38 different countries. We generally hire based on timezones and try to keep teams together by making sure that every Zapien overlaps with their manager & teammates for at least a few hours a day.

  • Time to renew. We encourage Zapiens to take at least 2 weeks off each year. Most of us take 4-5 weeks, in addition to locally recognized holidays.
  • Opportunity to work with Zapier’s amazing partners network


*While we support Zapiens around the world the best we can, healthcare plans are available in the UK, Canada, and United States.
