[Hiring] Data Engineer III @ZoomInfo Technologies LLC

Role Description

The Data Engineer III is a core builder on the Strategic Partnerships team's data platform. They design and ship ETL pipelines, semantic models, and the supporting infrastructure that powers cross-functional initiatives with Marketing, Finance, Sales, Legal, HR, and Product. This role requires someone who can context-switch between domains, get up to speed on unfamiliar data quickly, and deliver pipelines that stakeholders can rely on without hand-holding.

The Data Engineer III operates with a high degree of autonomy, owning projects end-to-end — from scoping with BU stakeholders, to building and deploying pipelines, to monitoring them in production. They follow the standards set by the team and contribute back to them as they grow in the role.

The Data Engineer III will work within an established data stack that includes:

• Warehousing: Snowflake as the primary warehouse; BigQuery for GCP-native workloads
• Ingestion: Fivetran for SaaS-to-Snowflake pulls; Airflow (on AWS) for custom DAGs, Lambda-based extraction, and S3 staging
• Modeling: dbt for transformation and semantic layer definition
• Custom compute: Databricks for bespoke modeling work that doesn't fit cleanly into dbt/Snowflake
• Infrastructure: Terraform for managing Fivetran connections, GCP infrastructure, and AWS resources
• Version control & CI/CD: GitHub
• Consumption: Tableau dashboards; internal tools built on top of semantic data layers

Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional experience as a Data Engineer, with demonstrated ownership of production pipelines
• Strong SQL and Python; comfortable writing production-grade code, debugging complex pipelines, and optimizing queries
• Hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake strongly preferred; BigQuery or equivalent acceptable)
• Solid dbt experience — has built and maintained models in a production dbt project
• Experience with orchestration tools — Airflow and Fivetran required; Dagster or equivalent a plus
• Experience with Databricks and Spark for custom modeling and transformation workloads
• Experience with AWS (Airflow, S3, Lambda) and GCP (BigQuery and adjacent services)
• Ability to work autonomously — can take an ambiguous ask, scope it with a stakeholder, and ship a solution with minimal oversight
• Strong communication skills — can explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical partners and adapt style to different audiences
• Security-first mindset; familiar with PII handling and access controls
• Has built something end-to-end before specializing — values broad competence paired with depth

Requirements

• Core: Python, SQL, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Databricks, AWS (S3, Lambda, Airflow), GCP (BigQuery), GitHub
• Required: Experience with CI/CD for data pipelines; experience contributing to a team dbt project; familiarity with Terraform or another IaC tool
