Eager to reinvent the way people find their next home? The Zillow Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Experience team is responsible for the development of novel models and experiences that strive to reinvent what it looks like to find and secure a home. Our goal is to reinvent home shopping through highly personalized, seamless experiences that are augmented with unique, rich media, insights, and action.

We build upon a foundation of quantitative and qualitative understanding of our customers to rapidly test, iterate, and launch customer experiences on the United States’ largest online real estate marketplace.

About the role

Are you passionate about using the latest Multimodal AI to reinvent and radically simplify home shopping? We are seeking a highly experienced and technical Principal Product Manager to join our AI & Experiences team, focusing on growing Zillow's ability to observe and comprehend the world that surrounds home shopping (homes, neighborhoods, documents) through advanced multimodal AI.

At Zillow, we recognize that home shopping is inherently a multi-sensory experience. We are looking for a technical, visionary product thinker that can lead us through evolving our existing AI systems to build novel, scaled digital experiences that capture the richness of viewing a home and location in-person. This role will focus on advancing our capabilities across multiple modalities including: computer vision for property feature recognition and room classification, natural language understanding for property descriptions and user queries, multimodal fusion for richer property understanding, and document understanding and intelligence.

Key responsibilities include:

• Spearhead the strategic innovation and integration of multimodal and computer vision AI technologies across Zillow's customer-facing experiences, balancing brand-new innovation with practical deployment.

• Identify and complete key opportunities for creative customer experiences, developing innovative methods for buyers & renters to gain deeper insights into homes and locations.

• Develop and evolve our multimodal AI roadmap, ensuring alignment with both technical feasibility and customer value.

• Work closely with applied scientists, machine learning engineers, designers, and researchers to use Zillow's extensive real estate dataset for training models and developing experiences.

• Translate complex technical capabilities into valuable, high-impact user experiences, focusing on visual, textual, and spatial data streams.

• Lead cross-functional teams to deliver AI products from conception to production, ensuring robust model deployment, performance monitoring, and iterative improvements.

• Drive responsible AI practices, addressing challenges around data privacy, bias mitigation, and fair housing compliance.

• Stay informed about new technologies and industry trends to continuously push the team forward in innovative ways.
