Sr Software Engineer

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.

• Build for scale: Design and implement scalable, flexible features that power Zuora's next-generation onboarding platform. 
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with senior engineers and architects to deliver a high-impact product roadmap.
• Deliver quality and performance: Develop robust APIs, background services, and data pipelines that are both efficient and developer-friendly.
• Innovate continuously: Contribute to system designs and technical discussions that improve performance, reliability, and developer experience.
• Solve complex onboarding challenges: Build intelligent agents to streamline and resolve complex customer onboarding workflows.

At Zuora, the Milo team solves the Zuora onboarding problem by building agentic solutions to address complex implementation challenges—ranging from understanding user requirements to configurations, data migration, integration, testing, and more. We build and scale the systems that drive innovation across Zuora AI and Zuora Milo — empowering global enterprises to deliver seamless, accurate, and dynamic billing experiences to their customers.

As a key member of this team, you'll design and develop highly distributed, performant, and reliable systems that form the foundation of Zuora's onboarding capabilities.
