Job description

Ready to work on real distributed systems? Zoom is adding a Cloud Engineer skilled in Google Cloud Platform to the technology team. Set against the usual technology listings, this contract role at Zoom stands out for one reason — it pays $103,000 - $161,000 and trusts you.

Key Responsibilities

• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Carry the Team Leadership platform work that makes Zoom's next TX expansion boring
• Spike a Datadog proof of concept fast when Zoom needs a yes-or-no answer
• Keep the technology Google Cloud Platform service humming through Dallas's holiday traffic surge
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from Zoom stakeholders into shippable PagerDuty services
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Sketch Disaster Recovery sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
• Refactor the technology module Zoom has been afraid to touch

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Dallas, TX
• Datadog fundamentals plus the PagerDuty polish clients notice
• Familiarity with Zoom-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Hands-on Team Leadership experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• Enough PagerDuty to be dangerous, enough Kubernetes to be trusted
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, sharp-but-gentle environment

Zoom makes Kubernetes look simple, which anyone in technology knows is the unfussy hardest thing to pull off. We treat every new Cloud Engineer as a fresh set of eyes, so tell us what looks broken.

With $103,000 - $161,000 as the anchor, expect mentorship, a benefits package worth bragging about, and the latitude to work remote-first.

Hiring is open and ongoing for this contract position in Dallas.
