The role
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.
What You'll Do
• Prototype and Hand Off: Design platform patterns end-to-end—build reference implementations, document the rationale, and partner with implementation teams to roll them out. Stay hands-on through proof-of-concept and initial enablement, writing reference implementations and opening PRs to jumpstart team adoption.
• Participate in Architecture Review: Bring a consistent, documented rubric to weekly architecture reviews so teams get reliable guidance. Expand our standards library and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
• Own a Domain Specialty: Provide architectural stewardship in one of our focus areas:
• Cloud Infrastructure Architecture: Own the architecture for our cloud runtime, networking, service mesh, container platforms, and overall infrastructure scalability, resilience, and security.
• Data Architecture: Own event streaming/messaging, database technology strategy, pipeline patterns, warehouse, and lakehouse strategies.
• Define Technology Lifecycle: Evaluate emerging technologies through structured POCs, drive standards for onboarding and phase-out, and lead evaluations of vendor changes and consolidation opportunities. Partner with FinOps on cost optimization in your depth area, including emerging AI/model infrastructure spend (e.g., evaluating open-weight models as a lower-cost alternative to hosted APIs).
• Enable R&D Teams: Host design reviews
