About this role
Zeta Global is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to drive the technical vision and execution of its Zeta Marketing Platform, a core product that processes billions of data signals to deliver marketing intelligence at enterprise scale. You'll architect and own the big data infrastructure powering this platform, working across distributed systems that span multiple data centers while balancing feature delivery against technical debt. This role demands someone who can think strategically about system design while remaining hands-on—mentoring engineers through knowledge-sharing sessions and contributing directly to the codebase.
The position requires at least ten years of software development experience with a minimum of three to five years in a hands-on lead or technical architect capacity. You'll need deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud architecture, and big data technologies (Spark, HBase, Elasticsearch, Kafka), along with strong programming skills in Python, particularly around parallel and multithreaded work. Experience building and operating mission-critical services in multi-tenant, microservices environments is essential, as is familiarity with NoSQL databases and data warehouses like Snowflake or Redshift. Knowledge of containerization and orchestration tools, AWS or comparable cloud platforms, and test-driven development will strengthen your candidacy.
This is an in-office role based in Bangalore, suited to someone energized by working on large-scale data systems and comfortable driving thin slices of end-to-end functionality with regular delivery cycles informed by data-driven feedback.
