About You

You’re conversant in security. You’re familiar with common security libraries, security controls, and security flaws. Whether you love OWASP Top 10, ASVS, CWE, or whatever, you have a solid grounding in what to look for and ideas on how to fix it (or avoid it in the first place!)

You build scalable web apps. You’ve worked across the stack, and you can dive into any aspect of an application, even though we might be more backend heavy in this role. Zapier is built on Python, Django, React, Node.js, and AWS. While we don’t require a specific number of years of experience, typically people at this level will have 4 or more years of recent professional experience, ideally with at least a year building security features and systems.

You love tooling and code quality. You get that not everything is shiny and user-facing. Building the tools that few people ever see but make everyone’s job easier and more secure is near and dear to your heart. You understand that testing your code and good code coverage is essential in delivering a solid product. You know how to document well and lean on automation whenever possible.

You have a systems-oriented mindset. You’re inquisitive. You build a deep understanding of problems and are good at spotting patterns. You understand how to design and implement end-to-end software systems.

You love to collaborate. Whether it’s getting in the trenches to embed with engineering teams or jumping into design discussions to lend a security perspective, you’re all about helping out. You like pairing up with teammates when someone gets blocked, but also can summarize technical concepts effectively as you work with people from disciplines outside of engineering.

You value our values. At Zapier, our values are at the heart of how we work together and how we think about our customers. As a remote-first company, our values help develop trust and ensure we collaborate effectively to democratize automation. You recognize how our values can empower meaningful work, you thrive in a collaborative setting, you are eager to continue growing, and you’re excited to be part of the team.

Zapier is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace dedicated to pursuing and hiring a diverse workforce.
