  • 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.

  • Ability and interest to quickly learn new frameworks, architecture patterns, and programming languages as needed

  • Experience working at a small company with diverse responsibilities is a bonus, but not required.

  • Experience working with API connections with external systems like Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, etc is a bonus, but not required.

  • Exposure to AI-driven automation or interest in working with AI/ML teams to build intelligent workflows.
