Senior Software Development Manager

About the team

Zillow's iPhone, iPad and Android applications are the #1 real estate applications in their respective stores. Our passion for building the best native mobile experiences for buyers, renters, and homeowners shows!

Most of Zillow Group’s traffic comes from mobile. For example, more than two-thirds of our flagship brand Zillow’s usage occurs on a mobile device; on weekends it’s more than 76%. We operate at scale: in a recent month, more than 1.7 billion homes were viewed on Zillow Mobile – that’s 645 homes per second.

Keeping up with all our mobile traffic and feature requests means we're pushing the limits of fully native Android experiences. This team leads framework development for Zillow's property data views and implements most of the property data modules. The codebase is completely modern with consistent Day 1 OS upgrades and adoption of Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Join us to help build the most popular portion of Zillow's apps!
