We've led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we're evolving again by building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI-ready foundation.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is motivated to design, develop, test, and operate cutting-edge, highly scalable enterprise SaaS applications, and who can own significant components end-to-end while raising the technical bar around them.

• Design and develop highly flexible common components and APIs that enable product customizability and extensibility.
• Own the design and delivery of significant features or components within the team, from design through production support.
• Design and develop application components and services for scale, using modern backend and cloud-native patterns, including microservices, APIs, and event-driven integrations where appropriate.
• Understand the platform needs of other functional areas and provide design and development assistance as required.
• Understand user needs and build products that are intuitive and easy to use.
• Advocate for high-quality software and promote best practices to produce reliable, maintainable, and fault-tolerant systems.
• Participate in and help facilitate design and code reviews, raising the bar on engineering practices, code quality, observability, and testability.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, code review, and technical guidance.
• Identify technical debt within your area and propose pragmatic ways to address it alongside feature work.
• Help drive Zuora's transition to microservices and cloud-based architecture.

Qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a relevant degree.
• 8+ years of software development experience specializing in enterprise SaaS software.
• Strong programming experience in Java, Python, or another object-oriented language.
• Strong database and SQL knowledge, including Oracle or MySQL, data modeling, query analysis, transactions, and performance tuning. Plus experience with MongoDB and Redis.
• Experience designing and building web applications, with expertise in related concepts such as web services, SOA, RPC (REST, gRPC, Thrift), and API design.
• In-depth knowledge of common algorithms, data structures, design patterns, and their applications.
• Experience with production software delivery, CI/CD, observability, troubleshooting, and operational ownership.
• Track record of owning features or components end-to-end, from design through production.
• Good verbal and written communication, including the ability to explain technical decisions clearly to teammates and cross-functional partners.
• A demonstrated AI-first approach to engineering, leveraging AI across the design, development, and testing lifecycle to accelerate delivery, and drive impact beyond core areas of expertise.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Cloud and DevOps technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, AWS services).
• Experience implementing and operating performant, scalable distributed systems, particularly a SaaS product.
• Exposure to big data and NoSQL technologies.
• Familiarity with web application and UI concepts like AJAX, SPA, and sessions.
• Experience in payments, billing, financial systems, or other high-scale transaction platforms.
• Experience mentoring or coaching junior engineers.
