Zapier

What is Zapier?

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects over 8,000 applications, allowing users to build automated workflows called "Zaps" without any coding knowledge. Founded in 2011 by Wade Foster, Bryan Helmig, and Mike Knoop, the platform started as a side project to simplify app integrations and has grown to serve over 3.4 million businesses globally, including a significant portion of Fortune 1000 companies.

Zapier has been profitable since 2014 — a rare achievement in the tech world — while raising only $2.7M in seed funding. The platform enables everything from simple two-step automations to complex multi-step workflows with conditional logic, and has expanded into AI-powered automation features.

Where will I work?

Zapier is one of the original fully remote companies, with teammates spread across 40+ countries. There is no physical office. The company has been remote-first since day one and is a leading voice in the remote work movement. Team members work from wherever they're happiest and most productive.

What is the Zapier team like?

With approximately 860 employees distributed globally, Zapier has built a culture centered on autonomy, trust, and async communication. The company values default to action, growth through feedback, and building in the open. Despite its large scale, Zapier maintains a startup mentality where every team member has genuine impact.

Work-Life Balance

Zapier offers unlimited PTO with a requirement that employees take at least 2 weeks off per year. Most employees take 4-5 weeks. The company genuinely means it — employee reviews consistently highlight that the unlimited PTO policy is real and encouraged by management. In addition to unlimited PTO, there are 14 weeks of paid parental leave.
