Your Role

We’re growing quickly and need your help: we launched in early 2020 and are growing by 40+% every month. We have a wide product surface area, covering request management, no code workflow builders, customer-facing reporting dashboards, connections to ticketing systems, integrations with financial systems, B2B payment processing and more.

As a Software Engineer you will be responsible for building Zip’s core products and architecture. You will ship features that will be immediately used by our users, and will work with a tight-knit team that values open communication and cross-functional collaboration. We move quickly to solve a wide range of complex technical and product challenges. While we are an experienced team that can provide constant guidance and mentorship, we value engineers who can autonomously scope and solve difficult technical challenges.

You Will

  • Design and build highly reliable and resilient products and features.

  • Work closely with cross functional product and customer-facing teams to understand requirements and ship thoughtful solutions.

  • Write high-quality, extensible, and maintainable code.

  • Design and build scalable frontend applications and components.

  • Design and build APIs to drive existing and new features for a web-based application.

  • Build the future of procurement by developing native AI features to automate workflows and drive smarter decision making.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.

  • BS or higher, in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g. physics or math)

  • Experience with web application and API development in production environments. At Zip, our stack includes Python, Javascript, React, and GraphQL.

  • Experience with industry standard build, test, deploy tools. At Zip, our stack includes Kubernetes, Spinnaker, Jenkins, Kibana, Prometheus, and Grafana.

  • Ability and interest to quickly learn new frameworks, architecture patterns, and programming languages as needed

  • Experience working at a small company with diverse responsibilities is a bonus, but not required.

  • Experience working with API connections with external systems like Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, etc is a bonus, but not required.

  • Exposure to AI-driven automation or interest in working with AI/ML teams to build intelligent workflows.
