Hi there!
I'm Phil Carvalho, and I lead Release Engineering at Zapier. Our team owns the systems that move code from merge to production — CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, release orchestration, and the golden paths every engineer at Zapier relies on. I'm excited to be hiring Software Engineers (L3 and L4) who want to work on the systems that make every engineer at Zapier faster and safer.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and platform engineering. You'll build backend services and internal tools, but you'll also own CI/CD pipelines, release tooling, and delivery infrastructure. We're looking for engineers who write production code AND deeply understand how that code gets built, tested, and shipped.
This team is being built in the India timezone to operate independently, on top of the platform foundation provided by our SREs in cloud/infra. Our charter is the software layer of delivery. As Zapier scales its enterprise capabilities and integrates AI more deeply into the development lifecycle, the reliability and speed of our delivery systems becomes a direct lever on how fast the company can ship.
L3 — Software Engineer You understand how the systems you work on fit together end-to-end. You can take a well-defined task and deliver it from start to finish, including tests, documentation, and deployment. You have hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and testing infrastructure — you've built or improved these systems, not just used them. You call out risks early, ask for help when needed, and communicate progress clearly. You debug issues using logs and metrics, and when something is beyond your scope, you know how to involve the right people. You use AI tools in your daily work and remain accountable for the quality of what ships.
L4 — Senior Software Engineer You go beyond your own tasks. You lead technical design for projects, especially those involving CI/CD systems, release orchestration, or cross-team platform dependencies. You define and break down work, helping others execute effectively. When issues arise in pipelines or release systems, you assess impact, coordinate responses, and drive long-term improvements. You create reusable patterns and golden paths that other engineers adopt. You mentor engineers and identify recurring problems that inform roadmap-level improvements.
Note: Final leveling is determined during the interview process and aligned with Zapier's leveling framework.
The anticipated application window is 30 days from the date job is posted, unless the number of applicants requires it to close sooner or later, or if the position is filled.
