Senior Manager, Engineering Jobs

About The Team

Zillow is on a mission to transform home buying, selling, and financing. The Seller team is creating the experiences and offerings that help our customers sell their home and unlock their equity. The selling journey is complex and fraught with uncertainty. Sellers struggle to understand how much they can sell their home for, what options they have to sell their home, and which is best for them. Many of them are also faced with the added complexity of buying their next home while selling their current one. Our team is focused on solving these challenges for Sellers, building relationships with them, and helping them take next steps when they are ready to transact. We operate in a startup-y environment, are growing our business from the ground up, and are looking to scale quickly.

This team is responsible for the backend and web services in the seller journey, with a current focus on top and middle of the funnel. The latest features include presenting homeowners with a flow to get multiple selling options that include a cash offer and an option to work with one of our agent partners through a traditional listing process. Seller is one of the big bets for Zillow and there are a lot of opportunities to seize the market.
