Job description

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.

About the Team:

We're 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 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.

What You'll Do:

1. 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.
2. 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. This is how our team operates, and we expect you to operate the same way.

What You Bring:

• 2–5 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.

Bonus points:

• Startup experience where you owned a domain, paired with big-company engineering rigor.
• Background in HR tech or the recruiting domain.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Austin, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Austin compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Austin is #4 by population, #5 for remote work (#1 = most), #111 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #13 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Travis County, is #5 of 254 counties for average pay ($96,267).

The place in numbers

Austin has 979,539 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 3.2% of the population of Texas. It covers 326 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,001 people per square mile. The median age is 34.7, about the same as the state median (34.7 against 35.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,729 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,729 against $1,403). Over a year that is 22.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $555,300, which is 5.9 times the median household income ($93,658); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.5% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.5% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX metropolitan area has 1,293,690 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $56,950 a year, 12% above the national median ($56,950 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (159,340 jobs, median $47,770); management (133,950 jobs, median $129,060); food preparation and serving related (120,570 jobs, median $33,280). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and architecture and engineering (1.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($129,060) and computer and mathematical ($114,350). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Travis County was 3.6%. 75.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Travis County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 56.0% drive alone, 2.0% use public transit, 2.5% walk, 30.7% work from home. 10.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 40% below the state average (10.2% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

59.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 76% above the state share (59.6% against 33.8%). 18.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 7% above the state share (18.7% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 12.0%, 13% below the state rate (12.0% against 13.8%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 49°F (9.3°C). About 841 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (111 mm) and Feb the driest (45 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
