What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is motivated to design, develop, test, and operate cutting-edge, highly scalable enterprise SaaS applications, and who can own significant components end-to-end while raising the technical bar around them
- Work with product management and other engineering teams to design, build, and operate Zuora’s next-generation Revenue product

Our take
Over the last two decades the subscription economy has grown exponentially. Many companies are no longer selling "product units" and instead embrace these recurring revenue streams. But, whilst subscription-based businesses are flooding the market, making the transition is far from easy or simple.
Zuora helps companies launch and manage subscription-based businesses. Having started with Zuora Billing, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include Zuora Revenue, Zuora Collect and Zuora Central Platform. It's also gained big-name clients, including Zoom, Ford and Sony.
Set within this fast-growing economy, Zuora has attracted serious investment after its 2018 IPO. This fuelled the company's international expansion and allowed it to launch consumption-based billing and revenue recognition tools. Lately, it has been working to integrate AI enhancements into its offering.
