Description
ZoomInfo is where careers accelerate. We move fast, think boldly, and empower you to do the best work of your life.
You're joining a small, fast-moving team building the recruiting infrastructure that powers how companies find and hire people. Our stack is Python + FastAPI on the backend with React frontends. The code you write goes directly into the hands of recruiters , real users, real impact, no layers of abstraction between you and the outcome.
We're building a traditional application to help recruiters source candidates, and layering agentic AI capabilities on top of that foundation. It's an early, high-ownership environment where your decisions shape the product.
The Role: We're hiring one Senior Backend Engineer to own and drive meaningful initiatives end-to-end. This isn't a ticket-taker role. You'll scope work, make the calls, navigate tradeoffs, gather feedback, ship to production, and maintain what you build , collaborating with a small team throughout.
Responsibilities:
- End-to-end ownership. You can drive a medium-sized initiative from requirements to production with minimal hand-holding. You unblock yourself, communicate tradeoffs clearly, gather feedback on your plans, and ship. You take long-term responsibility for what you build.
- Agentic coding fluency. You use AI coding tools , Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent , every single day. You have real opinions about what works and what doesn't.
Requirements:
- 4–8 years of backend engineering experience. What you've shipped matters more than your title or years on paper.
- Generalist application engineer , primarily backend, but comfortable jumping to the frontend or data layer when needed. You've shipped major projects used by paying customers.
- Backend technologies , strong engineers learn fast; proficiency in any backend stack is the baseline. Experience with Python, FastAPI, or Node is a plus.
- Product sense , you've worked on user-facing surfaces and have genuine opinions about them.
- Strong ownership, independence, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset.
- Background , you've likely worked at companies like Indeed, Atlassian, Amazon, Google, Apple, or Meta, and you're ready to trade some of that comp ceiling for real ownership and impact.
Benefits: We offer comprehensive benefits, holistic mind, body and lifestyle programs designed for overall well-being.
Salary: $140,000-$220,000 USD
