WHO WE ARE
Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA) is the AI-Powered Marketing Cloud that unifies identity, intelligence, and omnichannel activation into a single platform – powered by trillions of consumer signals and one of the industry’s largest proprietary databases. Our enterprise clients use the Zeta Marketing Platform (ZMP) to personalize experiences at the individual level across every channel.
THE ROLE
Our Vertical Applications team builds web applications that bring the power of ZMP to specific industries – Healthcare, Political, Retail, and more. Every vertical comes with its own fascinating challenges: unique compliance requirements, distinct data models, and workflows that genuinely matter to the people using them. It’s the kind of work where you get to learn new domains, solve real problems, and see your applications make a tangible impact.
You’ll own applications end-to-end: partner with product owners to define the problem, architect the backend, integrate with Zeta’s core platform, build the frontend, ship to production, and ensure operational excellence. We value clean, simple architectures, test-first development, and continuous delivery. AI-assisted development with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini and Codex is embedded in our everyday workflow, and we’re excited about what agentic engineering unlocks for both development velocity and software quality.
What You’ll Do
What We’re Looking For
10+ years of software engineering with a history of owning and operating the systems you build. You’re deeply proficient in at least two of Python, Java, Ruby, or Node.js, with solid React/TypeScript skills on the frontend. Continuous delivery, test-driven development, agile and shift-left are things you genuinely practice – not just checkboxes on a process document.
You’re comfortable building and operating scalable, distributed, high performant systems and navigating multi-tenant, compliant environments. You’re already using AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, or similar) and you’re curious about pushing those workflows further.
You’re a strong communicator who enjoys working directly with product owners, proposing architectures, building consensus across teams, and then making it happen. You’re energized by learning new domains and collaborating with people who care about their craft.
