Jobs at ZIP

What ZIP's application asks

Across the one application form Otto has filled at ZIP: 16 distinct questions, 10 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 2 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Ashby.

4 are ZIP’s own, not boxes every form has:

• legal name
• are you willing and able to come into our downtown sf office 3 days per week?
• what is your current education status?
• will you now or in the future require sponsorship to work in the us?

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-10, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Ashby puts on every employer’s form.
