About The Position

This position is a hybrid role requiring employees to work from our headquarters location in Seattle, WA every Tuesday and Wednesday, and remote all other days. Hybrid from Seattle is the preferred location but this role is open to fully remote candidates outside of the Seattle area. Redfin is revolutionizing the $75 billion real estate industry. We use data, software, and innovative design to put customers first at every step in the home-buying and selling process. We’ve got all the perks, but if what you value most is doing great work in a collaborative environment, join us. As a Staff Software Engineer for a team in the Platform Engineering organization, you'll shape how Redfin's frontend engineers build, test, and ship software. This specific team owns the frontend platform infrastructure that powers ~30 React applications — the build tooling, testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and developer experience integrations that let teams focus on delivering customer value instead of fighting their tools. You won't just be writing code; you'll be multiplying the productivity of the entire frontend engineering organization. This role leads the integration of generative AI into our platform tooling, creating intelligent systems to eliminate toil and automate repetitive tasks. Join us if you're energized by high-leverage problems that directly improve the daily experience and confidence of hundreds of engineers. Who We Are Frontend Platform. We own the frontend infrastructure from build tooling and test frameworks to CI/CD pipelines and developer experience integrations, end to end, across the entire frontend engineering organization. Force Multiplier. Every improvement we make ripples across 30 applications and dozens of engineering teams. Our work doesn't just ship features, it makes every frontend engineer at Redfin more productive. AI-Forward. We're actively integrating generative AI into our developer workflows from code generation and automated testing to intelligent CI debugging and documentation.
