At Zeta Global, identity is at the core of our marketing cloud. The Identity
team builds and operates backend services that power the Zeta Identity Graph -
collecting, resolving, and maintaining billions of behavioural, demographic, and
transactional signals. These services enable people-based marketing at scale,
ensure trust and transparency in how identity data is managed, and provide
critical APIs and event streams consumed across Zeta’s platform. Our systems
support more than 235 million consumer profiles and process billions of events
monthly, requiring services that are highly available, low-latency, and built to
scale.

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer who brings strength in both backend
distributed systems and data engineering. In this role, you’ll design APIs and
event-driven services, scale our systems to handle rapidly growing data volumes,
and modernize our platform for resilience, transparency, and performance.

You Will:

* Design and build backend services and APIs for identity resolution, graph
transparency, and integrations.




* Develop and optimize event-driven pipelines and workflows processing billions
of signals.
* Deploy and operate cloud-native services on EKS/Kubernetes, leveraging Helm
for repeatable deployments.
* Ensure reliability, observability, and scalability across services and data
pipelines.
* Collaborate across engineering, product, and data teams to deliver end-to-end
identity solutions.
* Mentor engineers and influence architecture and roadmap decisions.

You Have:

* 7+ years of experience in backend and/or data engineering at scale.
* Solid skills in Python, Java, or Scala, with expertise in APIs, distributed
systems, and event-driven design.
* Hands-on experience with Kafka (or similar), Spark/Hive/Flink, and workflow
schedulers (Airflow/Luigi).
* Proficiency with Kubernetes (EKS preferred) and deployment practices (Helm,
service meshes).
* Solid knowledge of SQL, data modelling, and cloud platforms (AWS).
* Familiar
