Job description

About Zuora

At Zuora, we help businesses grow smarter and adapt faster. Our platform powers modern business models — from subscriptions and usage‑based pricing to AI‑driven and outcome‑based offerings — helping companies launch new products, automate complex billing, and unlock predictable, recurring revenue.

We’ve led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we’re evolving again by building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI‑ready foundation.

Location & Work Arrangements

This role is based in our Foster City, CA office and follows a hybrid work model. Team members are expected to work onsite three days per week to foster collaboration, innovation, and team connectivity.

This is not a fully remote position.

The Opportunity

Zuora’s Integration Hub (IH) team is building the connective tissue of the Subscription Economy. Our mission is to enable seamless, secure, and scalable integrations between Zuora and the broader enterprise ecosystem — including CRM, ERP, payments, data platforms, and partner applications.

As a Software Engineer III on the Integration Hub team, you will design and develop high‑performance integration services, event‑driven systems, and extensible APIs that power mission‑critical business workflows. You will play a key role in shaping a modern, scalable integration platform that supports real‑time data exchange, automation, and enterprise‑grade reliability.

You will:

• Design and build scalable integration services, APIs, and connectors.
• Develop event‑driven and microservices‑based architectures to enable real‑time data flows.
• Partner closely with Product, Platform, Security, and external partners to deliver reliable and extensible integration capabilities.
• Improve system performance, observability, and resilience across distributed systems.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code aligned with engineering best practices.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and drive technical improvements across the Integration Hub platform.

About the Team

Modern businesses rely on a complex ecosystem of systems — CRM, ERP, billing, payments, analytics, and more. As companies adopt subscription and usage‑based models, seamless data flow between these systems becomes essential.

The Integration Hub team is responsible for enabling:

• Pre‑built and extensible connectors to third‑party systems
• Event streaming and webhook frameworks
• Scalable APIs and integration services
• Secure, reliable, and observable data exchange across platforms

We are investing in a next‑generation integration platform built on microservices, cloud‑native architecture, and event‑driven design principles to power Zuora’s ecosystem strategy for years to come.

Our Tech Stack includes: Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Microservices, Kafka, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Postgres, and distributed event‑driven systems.

Your Experience

• B.Tech / B.E. in Computer Engineering or equivalent discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in backend or full‑stack software development.
• Knowledge and experience in the Payment domain.
• Strong expertise in Java (preferred) or another modern programming language.
• Experience building RESTful APIs and distributed microservices.
• Familiarity with event‑driven architectures (e.g., Kafka or similar messaging systems).
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
• Experience with relational databases (Postgres, SQL, AWS RDS).
• Knowledge of system reliability, observability, and performance optimization.
• Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Experience working on integration platforms, SaaS products, or enterprise systems is a strong plus.
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring emerging technologies and AI‑powered development tools.

About You

• You enjoy solving complex system integration challenges.
• You think in terms of scalability, reliability, and extensibility.
• You take ownership and thrive in collaborative environments.
• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and contributing to evolving architectures.
• You care about writing clean code and building systems that other engineers love to use.

Pay and Benefits

At Zuora, we’re constantly learning, innovating, and growing. Our people—known as ZEOs—are empowered to take ownership, challenge the status quo, and make a lasting impact.

We collaborate deeply, think boldly, and support one another to make what’s next possible—for our customers, our communities, and each other.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, and retirement programs
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous, flexible time off
• Paid holidays, wellness days, and a company‑wide year‑end break
• Paid parental leave
• Learning & development stipend
• Opportunities to give back, including volunteer time and donation matching
• Mental wellbeing resources and support
