WHO WE ARE 

Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA) is the AI-Powered Marketing Cloud that leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and trillions of consumer signals to make it easier for marketers to acquire, grow, and retain customers more efficiently. Through the Zeta Marketing Platform (ZMP), our vision is to make sophisticated marketing simple by unifying identity, intelligence, and omnichannel activation into a single platform – powered by one of the industry’s largest proprietary databases and AI. Our enterprise customers across multiple verticals are empowered to personalize experiences with consumers at an individual level across every channel, delivering better results for marketing programs. Zeta was founded in 2007 by David A. Steinberg and John Sculley and is headquartered in New York City with offices around the world. To learn more, go to www.zetaglobal.com.

The intern will join our Architecture and Platform Engineering group, which supports product and engineering teams with standards, guidance, and tools that improve the quality and speed of delivery. This internship is focused on building practical automation and decision-support capabilities that reduce manual work for senior engineers and create reusable assets for the organization. It is a tightly scoped, time-bound role that lets us explore new ideas quickly without adding long-term headcount.
 
Our team sits at the intersection of technology strategy and hands-on engineering, defining patterns, best practices, and shared services used across multiple teams. The intern will work directly with senior architects and engineers, turning our guidelines and processes into prototypes, utilities, and workflows that can be adopted more broadly. This makes the internship a natural extension of the team’s mission to scale good architecture and engineering practices across the organization.
