At ZoomInfo, we encourage creativity, value innovation, demand teamwork, expect accountability and cherish results. We value your take charge, take initiative, get stuff done attitude and will help you unlock your growth potential. One great choice can change everything. Thrive with us at ZoomInfo.

As a Senior Engineer on our Advertising, Company Intelligence, and Intent team, you’ll help design and implement the core systems that power our real-time marketing platform. From high-throughput ad infrastructure to large-scale identity resolution and intelligent systems enhanced by LLMs, push the boundaries of scale, intelligence, and speed—and deliver real-world business impact.

You’ll be joining a team with a broad range of ambitious, technically deep projects—from APIs that process tens of billions of events per day, to new buyer intent algorithms powered by LLMs, to a unified B2B identity graph. Depending on your strengths and interests, you’ll be matched to the initiatives where you can have the greatest impact.

This is a high-growth, high-ownership environment operating at the edge of what’s possible in modern software engineering, data infrastructure, and applied AI.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and build distributed systems that process, enrich, and respond to billions of behavioral events per day in real time
  • Develop high-performance APIs and services that support advertising, identity, and intent features across the Marketing Platform
  • Leverage machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to analyze behavioral data, classify content, extract signals, and enable intelligent decision-making
  • Build intelligent agents using frameworks like LangGraph or MCP to reason over data and power user-facing insights
  • Design and operate data pipelines using tools like Kafka, Kinesis, and ClickHouse to support both streaming and batch workloads
  • Drive quality, performance, scalability, and observability across all systems you own
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, data scientists, and engineers to deliver customer-facing features and internal tooling
  • Contribute to technical leadership and mentorship of teammates

What You’ll Bring:

  • 5+ years of backend, data, or infrastructure engineering experience, or equivalent impact.
  • Distributed systems engineering (e.g., building low latency high and throughput APIs, scalable microservices, event processing pipelines)
  • Big data infrastructure (e.g., streaming, warehousing, low-latency storage at scale)
  • Applied AI/ML, including use of LLMs for extraction, classification, or reasoning tasks.
  • Proficiency in one or more core languages: Java, Go, Python
  • Solid grasp of SQL and large-scale data modeling
  • Familiarity with databases and tools such as: ClickHouse, DynamoDB, Bigtable, Memcached, Kafka, Kinesis, Firehose, Airflow, Snowflake
