Job Description
This role involves leading the MCP (Model Context Protocol) initiative, which is Anthropic's open-source standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to data sources and tools. You will be a leader on both the technical execution and strategic direction of MCP at Zapier, working directly with customers, internal teams, and ecosystem partners. As a Player-Coach, you'll spend 50-75% of your time managing an engineering team, and being a hands-on leader: coding, customer connection, architectural decisions, understanding trends, and defining the technical strategy that positions Zapier as the most trusted MCP provider. You'll lead a small, focused team while staying deeply involved in the day-to-day execution.
