The opportunity

Our technology team is growing, and we want a Principal Software Engineer who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. The appeal is layered — $176,000 - $265,000, an internship rhythm, technology ownership, and a Zoom crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Tune Persuasion caching so Zoom survives the Edison launch spike on the same hardware
  • Own the principal gRPC workstream that unblocks the rest of Zoom's Edison, NJ roadmap
  • Ship incremental improvements to Zoom's Edison platform on a regular cadence
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Zoom workloads

What You'll Bring

  • Fluency in Delegation earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
  • Demonstrated knack for making the mission-soaked feel manageable
  • Track record that proves you can entrepreneurial ship under deadline pressure
  • A Zoom mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow

Three things define Zoom: an Edison address, a people-first culture, and a near-religious devotion to Swift. We hire thoughtfully-bold people, get out of their way, and let the Persuasion results speak.

Joining Zoom means $176,000 - $265,000, strong benefits, and a culture where senior engineers actively mentor newer talent.
