Hi there!

We're looking for an experienced 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 engineering 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 to 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.
