Principal Software Engineer, ZoomInfo

• 12+ years of backend, platform, or infrastructure engineering experience, or equivalent impact and technical leadership
• A track record of architecting and operating tooling, services, or platforms that many other teams depend on—API/contract design, versioning and backward compatibility, blast-radius management, and the judgment to keep a high-traffic system evolvable
• Strong experience in at least one of the following:
• Delivery / GitOps tooling — ArgoCD (ideally ApplicationSets), Helm, and building deployment tooling that other engineers rely on
• Backend platform & API engineering at scale, on systems many teams build on
• Proficiency in Go or TypeScript/JavaScript, with strong working ability in the other. Our delivery systems are TypeScript/Node (NestJS, in an Nx monorepo); our automation platform core is Go
• Experience with Kubernetes (K8s), serverless runtimes (GCP Cloud Run or equivalent), and major cloud providers (GCP and AWS)
• A track record of leading a high-stakes inheritance or migration, setting direction across a team, mentoring senior engineers, and driving alignment across organizational boundaries
• Practical experience or strong theoretical depth in Agentic AI, MCP, and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) frameworks, and a point of view on where they belong in an infrastructure platform

Desirable

• Own the tooling and services that power the next generation of our CI/CD pipelines—the GitOps deployment API/CLI (TypeScript/Node, NestJS), self-service deployment capabilities (ArgoCD/Helm/Cloud Run), the shared TypeScript package ecosystem (an Nx monorepo), and the ingress layer—making the calls on how these systems evolve, integrate, and stay reliable as a large share of the company depends on them, in partnership with our CI/CD team
• Lead the stabilization and strategic evolution and stabilization of these mission-critical systems; prioritize technical knowledge capture and de-risk the highest-leverage deployment paths as the platform transitions to your ownership
• Lead technical direction—golden paths, standards, and the multi-quarter roadmap—across the delivery tooling and the Go automation and intelligence platform (internal APIs, durable workflows, agentic tooling), including build-vs-buy, consolidation, and sunset calls
• Stay hands-on at the hard edges—design and build the highest-leverage, highest-risk components yourself in Go and TypeScript/Node, and set the patterns others follow
• Shape how we apply Agentic AI, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and durable workflows (Temporal) to automate the creation, upgrading, and auditing of infrastructure
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, raise the quality bar through design and code review, and influence partner teams—CI/CD, the embedded DevOps teams, and the org that co-owns the shared monorepo—without relying on positional authority
