Creating Magic Taking Ownership Raising the Bar Winning Together Delivering with Speed We are an AI-first company

We don't just build software. We build intelligent systems. From AI-assisted development workflows to LLM-powered product features, we expect every engineer to embrace and actively shape how AI changes what we ship and how we ship it. If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited by what's possible when agents, models, and great product sense meet, you'll feel at home here.

The Role Join Zapp and take full lifecycle ownership of the apps our customers use every day. We're building a world-class experience across iOS, Android, and web, and you'll help us get there.

Quick commerce moves fast and lives in the real world. AI is changing how we build it. That's the part we love. We need engineers who are curious, energetic, and thrive at the front line of both.

What you'll do Build a world-class customer experience across the stack. Ship across backend, web, and infrastructure, and into mobile when features cross over.

Bring AI into how we build. Use AI in your daily work. Share patterns that help the team move faster, and learn from what others discover.

Help shape AI in our product. AI features in our app are still early. Spot the customer moments where AI can create magic, prototype them, and bring them to life.

Own delivery end-to-end. Pick up a problem, design the solution, ship the work wherever the feature lives, and see it through to production.

Own on-call. Be on the rotation, and stand behind what you ship in production.

Keep production fast and trusted. Watch latency, harden release processes, and protect what customers rely on.

Raise the bar for the team. Contribute to architectural discussions and the patterns that shape our codebase. Lift the people around you.

You're a great fit if you Senior engineering experience. 5+ years building production software.

Full-stack range. Comfortable across backend, web, and infrastructure.

Strong fundamentals. Confident with Type Script, GraphQL, and SQL. At home in NestJS (or a similar Node.js framework) and React.

Cloud and Dev Ops minded. Comfortable across GCP or a similar cloud, CI/CD, observability, and modern infrastructure tooling.

Use AI daily. AI assistants are part of how you build. You bring back patterns that help others get more out of them too.

Think product, not just code. You measure your work by what changed for the customer, not the lines of code shipped.

Production minded. Solid grasp of API design, observability, scaling, reliability, and security.

Care about craft. Clean APIs, attention to detail, and how the system feels to work in.

Comfortable in uncertainty. You move forward when the path isn't clear, instead of waiting for someone to define it.

Test as you build. Automated tests are how you ship code you trust.

Passionate about execution. Curiosity, energy, and a habit of moving things forward.

Excellent communicator. Clear in how you write and speak, and you love sharing what you learn.

If most of these land for you, please apply. We hire on trajectory and curiosity as much as CV.Even better if you know

NestJS. Our backend is a NestJS service, and you'd feel at home when features need backend work.

React Native. Our apps run on React Native and Expo. You'll touch them when features cross stack boundaries.

GraphQL Federation. We run a federated gateway across multiple subgraphs, and federation experience makes schema and subgraph work easier.
