Sr. IT Systems Engineer

At Zapier, we build and use automation every day to make work more efficient, creative, and human. So if you’re using AI tools while applying here - that’s great! We just ask that you use them responsibly and transparently.

Check out our guidance on How to Collaborate with AI During Zapier’s Hiring Process, including how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or others during our hiring process - and when not to.

We're looking for a Sr. IT Systems Engineer to join our team. Zapier is on a mission to make everyone more productive at work. Zapier has helped millions of people build businesses through the power of automation.

This is an exciting role at Zapier in a growing team, and you will play a direct role in implementing and improving Zapier's IT infrastructure. Working closely with our Engineering, People Ops, and Security Teams, you will implement, manage, automate, and support the tools and services that power a globally distributed team.

We believe that a good IT experience is a perk -- it keeps people productive and engaged rather than getting in the way. You will help maintain a world-class Mac experience for our employees and streamline access management by implementing SSO applications and automating processes. You will help scale our IT infrastructure and processes to the next level as a service owner, and you will be crucial to its success as Zapier grows. This isn't an IT Helpdesk job, but assisting and providing great customer service for Zapier's IT needs is part of the role.

  • Build and maintain reporting to surface spend trends, renewal risks, and optimization wins for leadership.

  • Partner with Finance and team owners to develop a strategy for maximizing value from SaaS investments.

• Automation development:

  • Build tools and processes to eliminate manual work, automate user account creation, and integrate tools via API.

• IT support triage:

  • Resolve IT issues as they arise and build automations to eliminate recurring request patterns.

• User account management:

  • Perform provisioning and deprovisioning as part of onboarding/offboarding workflows.

• Infrastructure improvement:

  • Identify and implement enhancements to IT infrastructure and tooling.

• SaaS tool management:

  • Work across dozens of tools (Google Workspace, Jira, Slack, 1Password, Zoom, etc.).

  • Collaborate with the team to enhance and maintain the employee Mac experience.

At Zapier, we believe that diverse perspectives and experiences make us better, which is why we have a non-standard application process designed to promote inclusion and equity. We're looking for the best fit for each of our roles, regardless of the type of education or companies in your background, so we encourage you to apply even if your skills and experiences don’t exactly match the job description. All we ask is that you answer a few in-depth questions in our application that would typically be asked at the start of an interview process. This helps speed things up by letting us get to know you and your skillset a bit better right out of the gate. Please be sure to answer each question; the resume and CV fields are optional.

After you apply, you are going to hear back from us—even if we don’t see an immediate fit with our team. In fact, throughout the process, we strive to never go more than seven days without letting you know the status of your application. We know we’ll make mistakes from time to time, so if you ever have questions about where you stand or about the process, just ask your recruiter!

Zapier is an equal-opportunity employer and we're excited to work with talented and empathetic people of all identities.
