- Hands-on experience with data processing and orchestration technologies such as Apache Beam, Apache Airflow, Spark, Google Dataflow, or DataProc
- Experience with streaming technologies such as Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, or similar systems
- Understanding of batch processing, streaming processing, data modeling, schema design, and data quality practices
- Backend, Cloud, and Operations:
- Experience building backend services, APIs, or distributed systems that run in production
- Experience with at least one cloud provider, preferably GCP
- Familiarity with cloud data and compute services such as BigQuery, GCS, GKE, Dataflow, DataProc, and Pub/Sub

What the job involves
- We're looking for a Software Engineer III to join the Data Acquisition team - one of ZoomInfo's most strategically important engineering areas
- In this role, you will help build the systems that acquire, transform, validate, and store large raw data sets from a wide range of sources
- You will work on backend services, batch and streaming pipelines, workflow orchestration, and the next generation of large-scale data acquisition technologies
- This position is focused on backend and data engineering. It requires strong hands-on experience with data pipelines, distributed processing, Java, cloud infrastructure, and production-quality engineering practices
- Design and build backend data pipelines that ingest, validate, normalize, enrich, and store high-volume raw data from multiple sources
- Develop ETL/ELT workflows and processing jobs using technologies such as Apache Airflow, Apache Beam, Google Dataflow, DataProc, Spark, Kafka, or Pub/Sub
- Implement new features in Java-based services and data processing applications that support data acquisition at scale
- Work with batch and streaming architectures for scheduled, near-real-time, and event-driven data flows
- Improve data quality through schema validation, deduplication, enrichment, monitoring, retries, and controlled backfills
- Contribute to observability for pipeline health, throughput, latency, cost, and error rates
- Collaborate with product managers, data teams, and platform teams to translate business requirements into reliable technical solutions
- Help design, plan, and execute the roadmap for next-generation data acquisition technologies
Our take
It was only a few years ago when B2B sales teams relied on warm introductions and contact books. Now, cloud-based CRM, automation and Big Data are critical tools for any selling process. ZoomInfo’s B2B contact base has played a massive part in that journey.
The company primarily helps salespeople find potential customers. Crucially, ZoomInfo then leverages technology to help make that approach as successful as possible. Think contact details of the most likely budget holder at that company, signal for when and how to approach and crucial updates on the company’s fortunes.
ZoomInfo has grown significantly over the previous few years and is now shifting its approach to pursue more inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions, acquiring several companies in 2022, including the job recruitment website Comparably.
The risk for ZoomInfo is that these moves represent expansion beyond its traditional strengths in top-of-funnel customer acquisition. The company will need to ensure that it maximises synergies in order to win in these markets. The company has expanded operations in India and is set to see further expansion, as indicated by its appearance on the Fortune Future 50 list of robust and growing companies in 2023.
