Hi there!

We’re looking for a technical Engineering Manager to join our Revenue Zone – a critical area focused on building customer-centric revenue systems that power Zapier’s monetization and subscription experience.

As an Engineering Manager in the Revenue Zone, you will lead a team of engineers responsible for building, scaling and optimizing our revenue/monetization systems. Your team’s mission includes:

• A comprehensive catalog system that defines all customer offerings (Plans, Add-ons, and more).
• A scalable billing platform to support reliable monetization of Zapier’s products.
• Enhanced multi-product purchasing experiences with seamless checkout.
• Global tax compliance capabilities to meet regional regulations.

You’ll collaborate with Finance, Data, Product, Design and Support teams to ensure our systems are reliable, scalable, and aligned with business goals.

If you’re eager to lead high-impact projects at a fast-growing, profitable, and remote-first company, read on!

About You

• You are an effective team builder and a skilled engineering leader. This isn’t your first rodeo. You have at least two years of experience managing a cross-functional team of engineers comprising frontend, full stack, and backend. You know how to hire, train, and develop engineers from all backgrounds. You understand the benefits of building a diverse and inclusive engineering team.

• You’re a collaborator. You leverage your strong communication skills to align on a shared vision and strategy with your Product and Design partners, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and working towards common goals. Your ability to build relationships and foster cooperation leads to successful project outcomes and a cohesive team dynamic.

• You’re an advocate for your cross-functional stakeholders.  You actively seek input from stakeholders and integrate their feedback into decision-making processes. Your strategic approach and transparent communication style foster trust and alignment across teams, equipping them to handle changes and challenges effectively.
• You have deep customer empathy and thrive in the details.  Zapier’s revenue systems power every purchase and maintain every customer relationship. With a customer-centric approach, you work with your team to improve the customer experience and participate in programs to enhance our product offerings.
• You’ve shipped production code and you know what great code looks like. You contribute to design discussions, review code, and establish quality standards for your team. A solid grasp of engineering skills is essential, along with a practical understanding of software development practices. Understanding the current state, anticipating future developments, and maintaining a strategic view is important to you.
• You relish change and seek leverage.  Zapier is growing and we’re adapting our revenue systems with future growth in mind.  You’re comfortable leading change.  These changes will replace whole systems and move ownership in ways that may significantly alter the mission of your team.  You see an opportunity to build a more capable company and can navigate short-term uncertainty
• You have excellent communication skills. You regularly work with engineers and other stakeholders from various disciplines, balancing engineering concerns, such as technical debt, with product concerns. Ideally, you find solutions that address both the team and user needs but if not, help build understanding around difficult decisions.
• You have prior experience or a strong interest in revenue systems, including subscription management, invoicing, and payment processing platforms such as Stripe, PayPal, or Square – covering integration, configuration, and troubleshooting.

Things You’ll Do

• Work closely with your product and design peers to deliver customer and company value.
• Develop effective ways to communicate, monitor, and lead your team through weekly one-on-ones and team meetings.
• Keep the leadership team informed on your team’s progress and challenges in ways that are easy and enjoyable to receive, like one-on-one’s, update posts, and regular team hangouts.
• Build rapport with each member of the Engineering Team and support them through coaching and mentorship to help level up their skills, and performance management when necessary.
• Participate in code reviews, learning and spreading technical knowledge throughout Zapier — moving knowledge to documentation where appropriate.
• Maintain a focus on our customers by using customer feedback to guide your team through tradeoffs. You’ll help your team understand when to be rigid on quality and how to be flexible and create with scope.
• Work directly with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure our systems are serving their needs.  This could include Support, Accounting, Finance, and strategic initiative leads.
• Actively recruit, onboard, and train new engineers at Zapier, as well as supporting the continuous improvement of hiring practices in Engineering
• Organize your team to serve our customers.  In addition to our standard incident escalation practices, revenue teams work to resolve technical questions related to customer billing questions.
