As the Zeplin crew, we’re building an app used by tens of thousands of product teams daily. While creating a common language for our fellow designers and developers, we care deeply about building a product that delights them.

At the core of Zeplin lie delicately crafted integrations with design tools like Sketch, Figma and Adobe XD—just this November, 7 million designs were exported to Zeplin through these integrations! As an engineer on the Design Integrations team, you will be working on Zeplin’s current and future integrations, extending them to support new features and products while directly communicating and empathizing with engineers from these design tools.

• Keeping design integrations up-to-date, ensuring compatibility with prereleases through automated tests
• Building new integrations with more design tools
• Being open to working with private, crudely documented APIs, experimenting with new languages and frameworks
• Answering daily questions from users, collaborating with Support Engineers to investigate and solve issues

• Minimum 4 years of relevant professional experience
• Knowledge of Zeplin and passion for the product
• Good knowledge and understanding of JavaScript, TypeScript, React
• Solid understanding of how web works
• Strong problem solving ability
• Clear and positive communication skills in written and spoken English
