ZoomInfo is where careers accelerate. We move fast, think boldly, and empower you to do the best work of your life. You’ll be surrounded by teammates who care deeply, challenge each other, and celebrate wins. With tools that amplify your impact and a culture that backs your ambition, you won’t just contribute. You’ll make things happen–fast.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Web Data team and help build the next generation of ZoomInfo's web crawling and data extraction infrastructure.
This is a hands-on engineering role with high impact. You'll work alongside experienced engineers building large-scale crawling and extraction systems that process billions of pages. Your day-to-day will involve solving real distributed systems problems, writing production code, and shipping features that directly impact data quality across the platform.
You'll partner with a dedicated people manager who handles HR and administrative responsibilities, a product manager who connects business needs with technical work, and a senior manager who removes roadblocks and supports career growth. Your focus is on engineering execution, technical excellence, and collaboration. What You'll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll contribute to enterprise-scale crawling and extraction platforms that process massive volumes of web data.
You will:
- Design and implement components of scalable, fault-tolerant web crawling and extraction pipelines
- Write clean, production-grade code in Java and Python
- Build and operate ETL/ELT pipelines for large-scale data extraction and transformation
- Work with cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS, primarily on GKE
- Improve observability, reliability, and operational excellence across the systems you contribute to
- Partner with product and data science teams to deliver impactful solutions
- Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing across the team
- Stay current with evolving web technologies, anti-crawling mechanisms, and AI-powered extraction approaches
Must-Have Qualifications
We're prioritizing strong software engineering fundamentals over deep crawling-specific experience. The right candidate is a great engineer first; the domain can be learned on the team.
Software Engineering Fundamentals
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems
- Strong CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency, distributed systems
- Proficiency in Java and/or Python
