We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Contributory Network team within Data Acquisition - one of ZoomInfo's most strategically important initiatives.

The Contributory Network is building the platform that ingests, transforms, and processes first-party data contributed by thousands of customers through their CRM, email, and recording provider integrations. This data powers a suite of intelligence products - from competitive benchmarking and buyer committee insights to predictive market timing - that are impossible to build any other way.

This role demands a driver. We need someone who takes ownership, pushes through ambiguity, unblocks themselves and others, and relentlessly moves work forward. You won't wait for perfect specs or complete clarity - you'll carve the path, make decisions, and deliver. If you thrive when given a hard problem and the autonomy to solve it, this is your role.

What You'll Do

• Own and drive the design and implementation of large-scale data pipelines that ingest, validate, transform, and enrich first-party contributed data from CRM systems, email providers, and recording platforms
• Architect resilient ETL/ELT pipelines handling massive volumes of contact data, opportunity metadata, engagement signals, and activity patterns
• Take initiative on complex technical challenges - identify problems proactively, propose solutions, and execute with urgency
• Build streaming and batch processing systems for real-time and scheduled data flows using Kafka, Pub/Sub, Apache Beam, or similar
• Establish data quality frameworks, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and completeness across contributed data
• Define and implement observability, monitoring, and alerting for pipeline health, throughput, cost, and data quality metrics
• Drive technical design decisions and guide implementations from concept to production
• Mentor and elevate other engineers on the team through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing
• Partner with product, platform, and data science teams to deliver high-impact features on tight timelines
• Influence technical direction across the Contributory Network initiative and the broader Data Acquisition organization

What Sets This Role Apart

This isn't a role where you maintain existing systems and wait for tickets. The Contributory Network is a greenfield strategic initiative - you'll be building foundational infrastructure that directly powers intelligence products worth six figures from consulting firms, products that literally cannot exist without the data platform you build.

We need someone who goes through walls, not around them. Someone who sees a blocker and finds a way. Someone whose default mode is action, not analysis paralysis.

Why This Role Matters

The Contributory Network is ZoomInfo's strategic moat. It's how we pull away from competitors permanently by harnessing first-party data from thousands of companies to create intelligence no other source can offer. The data pipelines you build will power performance benchmarking, buyer committee intelligence, market timing signals, verified intent scoring, and fraud prevention - all at scale.

You'll be joining at a pivotal moment: the initiative is high-visibility, the team is growing, and the opportunity to define how contributory data acquisition is done at ZoomInfo is yours to shape.
