Hi there!
Zapier is on the lookout for a talented Engineering Manager to lead the Agents team. Zapier Agents is our AI-powered agent product that is already helping users delegate work across 8000+ apps. This is a unique opportunity to shape how intelligent Agents operate at scale, built on top of Zapier’s integration engine and real user workflows.
You’ll lead our technical team, with a focus on evolving a product already delivering dynamic reasoning into something even more intuitive, trustworthy, and transformative for our users. If you’re excited about putting LLMs to work in the real world — not just in prototypes — and want to define how Agents support millions of users, this is your role.
You've shipped LLM-powered products. You have hands-on experience building and shipping LLM features, with bonus points for autonomous agents experience.
You stay technically engaged. You regularly pair with engineers to support technical decision-making despite not being an IC.
You balance architecture with pragmatism. You make informed technical decisions, knowing when to plan meticulously and when to move quickly.
You prioritize outcomes over process. You implement lightweight processes that drive results without creating unnecessary red tape.
You champion frequent deployments. You believe in shipping code regularly and improving through real-world feedback rather than seeking perfection.
You solve problems creatively. You tackle challenges with a can-do attitude, recognizing when to build new features versus strengthening foundations.
You put users first. Your decisions and leadership are guided by user needs and improving their experience.
You build relationships across teams. You collaborate effectively beyond your team and influence technical decisions for the company's benefit.
Lead and develop a team of 4-6 engineers, providing technical direction, mentorship, and career growth opportunities.
Work with the engineering team to make, evaluate, and advocate for architectural decisions that align with Zapier's vision and technical standards.
Collaborate across engineering teams to evaluate and inform their technical decisions, creating alignment and removing blockers for the execution of Agents roadmap.
Champion problem-solving by identifying technical challenges and improving engineering processes.
Partner with design and product to tackle user problems effectively.
Communicate effectively to lead your team and keep leadership informed on your team’s progress through one-on-ones, team meetings, and leadership updates.
Review code and provide thoughtful feedback to improve code quality and engineer growth. Contribute to code when needed to fix bugs, improve developer experience, or prototype concepts.
Foster a culture of experimentation, rapid learning, and continuous improvement
At Zapier, we believe that diverse perspectives and experiences make us better, which is why we have a non-standard application process designed to promote inclusion and equity. We're looking for the best fit for each of our roles, regardless of the type of companies in your background, so we encourage you to apply even if your skills and experiences don’t exactly match the job description. All we ask is that you answer a few in-depth questions in our application that would typically be asked at the start of an interview process. This helps speed things up by letting us get to know you and your skillset a bit better right out of the gate. Please be sure to answer each question; the resume and CV fields are optional.
Education is not a requirement for our roles; however, if you receive an offer, you will need to include your most recent educational experience as part of our background check process.
After you apply, you are going to hear back from us—even if we don’t see an immediate fit with our team. In fact, throughout the process, we strive to never go more than seven days without letting you know the status of your application. We know we’ll make mistakes from time to time, so if you ever have questions about where you stand or about the process, just ask your recruiter!
