Canada Zapier Full time

Zapier is on the lookout for talented Engineering Managers to lead some of our New Products teams. Our mission at Zapier is to empower everyone with the ability to increase their productivity through automation. Engineering Manager, Canvas and Growth: At the heart of Zapier's future, Canvas is designed to be a user-friendly and robust visual diagramming tool. It's crafted to simplify the process of planning automations, allowing for seamless integration of Zapier's diverse and unique features like Tables, Interfaces, and AI Chatbots. As the Engineering Manager on the Canvas and Growth teams, you'll play a crucial role in evolving Canvas from its current prototype phase to a fully-fledged product as well as develop and implement technical strategies to drive user acquisition, engagement, and retention across all of New Products.
Engineering Manager, Interfaces: Zapier Interfaces is at the forefront of customizable web solutions, offering a unique platform that empowers users to effortlessly create their own web apps with an intuitive drag-and-drop editor. This innovative tool provides essential building blocks, including text, media, forms, and more, seamlessly integrating with over 6,000 apps without requiring any coding skills. As the Engineering Manager for the Interfaces team, you will tackle significant challenges such as the introduction of new product features driving the evolution of Interfaces. Your leadership will be pivotal in enhancing performance, developing new components, and expanding enterprise functionalities, thereby accelerating growth and enabling users to craft tailored solutions that meet their specific business needs.
You possess excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to influence technical decisions across teams for the greater good of the company.
You are vocal and discerning about architecture and software design . Your opinions on architecture and software design are informed and assertive. You understand the delicate balance between meticulous planning and pragmatic decision-making. This insight enables you to identify which architectural decisions require careful deliberation and where agility and shortcuts are appropriate, ensuring that development is both strategic and adaptable to the dynamic needs of the project.
In the ever-changing landscape of software development, you recognize that while processes are essential, they should never overshadow the end goal: delivering exceptional value. Your modus operandi involves light yet effective process and technical planning. Your approach to engineering isn't just about ticking boxes or following directives. You live by the "always ship new code" mantra . You take immense pleasure in your team releasing code frequently, knowing that every deployment brings with it enhancements, new features, or solutions that directly impact users. This drive to constantly ship isn't just about quantity for you; it's rooted in your belief that iterative improvement, driven by real-world feedback, is the key to creating truly outstanding software. You understand that in the broader scheme of things, not every task will be about building the next flashy feature. Sometimes, it's about fortifying the foundations, ensuring that the system is robust and resilient. Work with the engineering team to make, evaluate, and advocate for important architectural decisions, ensuring they align with the long-term vision and technical standards of Zapier.
Collaborate with other engineering teams to evaluate and inform their technical decisions, creating alignment and removing blockers for the execution of Canvas roadmap items.
Lead initiatives to identify and address technical challenges, fostering a problem-solving mindset and driving continuous improvement in our engineering processes.
Work closely with your engineering function and peer design function and product function to create a trio that tackles user problems and solutions.
Build rapport with each member of the Engineering Team and support them through coaching and mentorship to help level up their skills.
Participate in code reviews, learning and spreading technical knowledge throughout Zapier -- moving knowledge to documentation where appropriate.
This might involve tweaking the skills portions of interviews, or writing better documentation.
As part of our All Hands Support initiative, help customers have the best experience with Zapier as possible.
