Software Engineer

About the role

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Your Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for building Zip’s core products and architecture. 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. 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 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.

Qualifications

- We are targeting Senior level engineers, but open to speaking to individuals with at least 5 years of experience if past work is highly relevant

- 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, and deploy tools. At Zip, our stack includes Kubernetes, Spinnaker, Jenkins, Kibana, Prometheus, and Grafana.
