ZoomInfo
About this role
ZoomInfo sells a go to market intelligence platform, which in engineering terms means a very large
correlated dataset and a lot of traffic on top of it. This is a backend seat: you design and run
distributed microservices, build RESTful APIs, model data across SQL and NoSQL stores, and chase
performance bottlenecks in services that take millions of requests a day. Node.js is the preferred
language, with Python or Java accepted, and the platform is on GCP with Kafka for event streaming.
The posting is unusually direct about wanting operators rather than feature builders: it says the
team prefers engineers who have personally owned production services and can talk through real
outages they have handled. At 4 years it is one of the more accessible backend roles today. Apply if
you have carried a pager for something you built.

Who this is for
Requirements. 4+ years as a backend developer with a strong focus on services development. Strong
backend skills, Node.js preferred, with Python, Java or similar accepted. Real experience designing,
building and maintaining distributed microservices architectures in production. A strong operational
ownership mindset covering monitoring, troubleshooting and service reliability. Experience supporting
high traffic, high throughput systems with strict availability and performance requirements.
Hands-on GCP or another cloud. Experience using AI tools to drive and optimise development. Event
driven and asynchronous architectures. Messaging and streaming with Kafka. A strong grasp of
scalability, resilience, fault tolerance and performance optimisation. Experience with Angular or
React on the front end. Ability to work independently to short timelines, to pick up existing systems
quickly, and strong debugging and communication skills.
Preferred. Monitoring, logging, alerting and observability. Handling millions of daily events,
requests or messages. Infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines. Optimising cloud cost and
performance. Designing highly available systems across regions. Kubernetes including deployment,
scaling, observability and production operations.
Day to day. Design, develop and maintain services and UIs. Contribute to services architecture.
Build RESTful APIs and integrate external services. Work across SQL and NoSQL to design data models
and access patterns. Find and fix performance bottlenecks. Use AI tooling (the posting names Claude)
to build, test and maintain systems. Write unit and integration tests, review code, and investigate
production issues.
Shift and location, both published. Bengaluru, tagged #LI-Hybrid. ZoomInfo states a Work Shift of
"General Shift" with start times of 09:00, 10:00 or 11:00 and finishes of 18:00, 19:00 or 20:00. That
is a normal India day, which is worth knowing because several customer facing roles on this board run
US or EMEA hours.
Who this is for. A backend engineer four or more years in who wants scale and is comfortable being
on the hook for what they ship. ZoomInfo's careers site returns 403 to automated checks, so this
listing was confirmed live through the Greenhouse jobs API rather than the public page. The apply
link is the employer's own and works normally in a browser.
