Manager, Software Engineering - Orchestration and Workflows

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.

ZoomInfo is looking for a technical, people-focused Engineering Manager to lead our Orchestration and Workflows team. You'll own the orchestration layer that powers how customers build workflows and orchestrate data—from a simple webhook to complex, rules-based automation. If you thrive leading distributed systems engineers through ambiguity while scaling billions of requests a day, this role is built for you.

What You'll Do:

- Lead, coach, and grow a team of backend and frontend engineers delivering reliable, scalable systems for ZoomInfo's platform.

- Set technical direction and priorities for the Workflows group, guiding architectural decisions across Java, TypeScript, NestJS, MongoDB, and Confluent Cloud.

- Drive execution of key projects, balancing roadmap delivery with engineering best practices such as clean code, testing, observability, and CI/CD.

- Partner cross-functionally with product managers, TPMs, and stakeholders to define goals, clarify requirements, and align on priorities.

- Build a healthy engineering culture that encourages curiosity, ownership, innovation, and continuous learning across multiple sites.

- Recruit and onboard new talent, creating a smooth, inclusive experience for every new team member.

What You Bring:

Must-Have:

- 4+ years of engineering management experience, including direct mentorship and performance management of engineers.

- Proven track record scaling engineering teams from scratch—defining hiring roadmaps, establishing team culture and norms, and driving execution in ambiguous, early-stage environments.

- Experience leading distributed, multi-region engineering teams, with clear communication rhythms and inclusive practices that bridge time zones.

- 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, preferably with modern backend stacks such as TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, and Java.

- Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts: state management, long-running processes, fault tolerance, and high availability.

Preferred:

- Fluency with workflow orchestration technologies such as Google Cloud Workflows, Temporal, or equivalent.

- Grounding in event-driven architecture and streaming platforms, Kafka preferred.

- Experience with relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Google Cloud Bigtable, Redis), including data modeling and query performance at scale.

- Fluency in API design for integration-heavy systems: REST, webhooks, bulk sync, idempotency, retry semantics, and rate limiting.

- Familiarity with GCP services, particularly Cloud Workflows, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and GKE.

- Experience leading teams that specifically bridge US and India-based engineers.
