Senior Software Engineer - Contributory Network

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Contributory Network team within Data Acquisition - one of ZoomInfo's most strategically important initiatives.

The Contributory Network is building the platform that ingests, transforms, and processes first-party data contributed by thousands of customers through their CRM, email, and recording provider integrations. This data powers a suite of intelligence products - from competitive benchmarking and buyer committee insights to predictive market timing - that are impossible to build any other way.

• →5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on data engineering
• →Proven track record of building and operating production data pipelines at scale
• →Deep experience with Python and/or Java
• →Hands-on expertise with data processing technologies: Apache Beam, Apache Airflow, Spark, Google Dataflow, or DataProc
• →Strong experience with streaming systems (Apache Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, or similar)
• →Experience with cloud platforms, preferably GCP (BigQuery, GKE, Dataflow)
• →Solid understanding of data modeling, schema evolution, and data quality management
• →Experience designing and operating large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines processing terabytes of data

• Demonstrated ability to drive complex technical initiatives end to end - from scoping through delivery
• Track record of operating with high autonomy and a bias toward action
• Ability to push through ambiguity, make pragmatic decisions under uncertainty, and unblock progress
• Experience influencing technical direction within a team or across teams
• Strong code review and technical mentorship skills
• Proven ability to balance quality with velocity - you ship, iterate, and improve

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with a proven ability to build productive cross-departmental relationships
• Strong communicator who can explain complex systems to diverse audiences
• Entrepreneurial mindset - comfortable pioneering new capabilities and wearing multiple hats

• Experience with Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) for running distributed workloads
• Familiarity with multi-cloud environments (GCP + AWS)
• Experience with Snowflake, BigQuery, Starburst/Trino, or similar query engines
• Experience with Terraform or infrastructure-as-code
• Knowledge of data integration patterns with CRM systems, email providers, or recording platforms
• Exposure to AI/LLM-based data processing approaches
• Experience in a B2B data company or data-as-a-product environment
• Experience with Apache Spark at expert level

This isn't a role where you maintain existing systems and wait for tickets. The Contributory Network is a greenfield strategic initiative - you'll be building foundational infrastructure that directly powers intelligence products worth six figures from consulting firms, products that literally cannot exist without the data platform you build.

We need someone who goes through walls, not around them. Someone who sees a blocker and finds a way. Someone whose default mode is action, not analysis paralysis.

The Contributory Network is ZoomInfo's strategic moat. It's how we pull away from competitors permanently by harnessing first-party data from thousands of companies to create intelligence no other source can offer. The data pipelines you build will power performance benchmarking, buyer committee intelligence, market timing signals, verified intent scoring, and fraud prevention - all at scale.

You'll be joining at a pivotal moment: the initiative is high-visibility, the team is growing, and the opportunity to define how contributory data acquisition is done at ZoomInfo is yours to shape.
