Hi! I'm Erez. I run ZSA. We're a small company making good keyboards. We're fully distributed, with people from Thailand, South Africa, the US, Canada, Croatia, and more.

You, I hope, are not a ninja, nor a rockstar. I hope you're a nice person, and also a good programmer with an eye for detail. You can be from anywhere in the world.

Things I hope you're very good at

Communicating in writing.
Learning new things.
Working with AI dev tools in a sane way, and sharing your workflows.
React (bonus if you know mobX State Tree).
CSS (Sass and/or Styled Components)
Rigorously QAing your own work
Asking good questions

What's good about this job

You will be primarily responsible for ZSA.io and typ.ing. ZSA.io a custom-built eCommerce site (next.js). Shopify has featured it in several keynote presentations alongside brands like Allbirds. Typ.ing is a next-gen typing trainer, clean and fun.

Because we're so small, your work is going to make a big difference. We don't have a QA tester — you will QA your own work. That's why attention to detail is so important.

Things we don't do:

We don't have daily standups. We have meetings when we need them.
We don't do any sort of invasive employee monitoring like time or activity tracking.
We don't have investors, so we only think about our customers in everything we do, not about "shareholders".
We don't advertise or work with influencers (read more on our Why Trust Us page).
We don't obsess over analytics and funnels. We talk to real people and value qualitative feedback to guide our work.

Things we do:

Trust the team.
Work together. Collaboration is tight, over text (Telegram is our platform of choice).
Specify work accurately, ahead of time, with high-fidelity mockups in Figma and well-defined written work items.
Have clear acceptance criteria ("definition of done").
Review every PR.
Care about tech debt and take the time to address it.

How the hiring process works

If this role sounds interesting, please fill out our questionnaire, linked below. Please do not email me a resume.

If you seem like a good fit, I will reach out (me, personally — not some HR person or a hiring team). Then we'll have a call.

If after the call we both want to proceed, you will do a short, paid test project (two weeks).

If after the test project we're both still happy, you will begin a fully paid trial period. This is two months with ZSA, working with the whole team, drawing full pay, doing real work.

If after the trial period we're all happy, you will become a full-fledged member of ZSA. Once that happens, turnover is typically exceedingly low — people tend to stay and grow with us for years.

Thanks for getting this far,

Erez
