About The Position

We provide a suite of products and services that empower Zillow Group’s Android and iOS development teams to build outstanding mobile applications. By leveraging our shared libraries, services, and infrastructure, developers can focus on creating the experiences Zillow customers need to dream, shop, and transact on their next home. You will have an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of Zillow’s mobile development platform. You’ll drive the evolution of our CI/CD systems and developer tooling, enabling teams to deliver high-quality Android applications efficiently and at scale. Your work will directly impact developer productivity and the experiences of millions of Zillow customers. This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice, which must be identified to the Company. U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions. At Zillow, flexibility isn’t a perk–it’s how we work. Cloud HQ is our distributed-first model, built on trust, clear systems, and the belief that you can do great work from wherever you are. It’s not about where you work. It’s about moving forward–together.
