From Zoom Communications's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
As a Staff Software Development Engineer on the Onyx team, you'll work at the intersection of enterprise search and generative AI, contributing to a platform that processes millions of queries weekly for organizations like NASA and Hudson River Trading. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role on a small, founder-led team: you'll drive problems from initial discovery through production, with direct visibility into customer outcomes and the open-source community.
Working closely with Zoom's AI research and product teams, you'll shape both the technical direction of a growing product and the engineering practices that support it. This position requires on-site presence five (5) days per week at our San Francisco, CA office. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not available for this role.
Onyx joined Zoom through acquisition and is building enterprise search and an AI platform for security-conscious organizations. In under three years, the platform grew to hundreds of thousands of users, over one million queries per week, and 30,000 GitHub stars, serving customers including NASA, Hudson River Trading, and Nebius.
Our team of roughly a dozen engineers operates across the full product line, from infrastructure and engineering to customer relationships, and works in close collaboration with Zoom's AI research teams on LLMs, classifiers, and embedding models.
