We focus on operational excellence, strong engineering fundamentals, and collaboration, and we design and operate our environments with reliability, security, stewardship, and a high‑quality employee experience at the center.About the role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Network Engineer to serve as the technical owner of Zillow’s corporate office and campus networking environments, ensuring employees can reliably and securely connect to the tools and services they use to deliver value for millions of customers.
This senior individual contributor role focuses on the design, operation, and lifecycle management of on‑premises network infrastructure and comes with significant autonomy, technical influence, and accountability, but no people management responsibilities.
You will partner closely with peers across networking, endpoint, identity, and security disciplines to deliver reliable, secure, and high‑quality employee network experiences within a collaborative, supportive team environment.
The role combines hands‑on engineering with architectural ownership, operational excellence, and mentorship of other engineers through design reviews, pairing, and shared problem‑solving.
You Will Get To
Own the architecture, standards, lifecycle, and overall health of corporate on‑premises office and campus network infrastructure, including equipment refreshes and vendor engagement.
Design, operate, and continuously improve LAN, WAN, and wireless networks, including networking for office builds, expansions, relocations, and the end‑user wireless experience.
Operate and maintain enterprise employee remote access solutions (such as SSL VPN platforms and Zero Trust–aligned architectures) to provide secure, reliable, and scalable connectivity for employees everywhere they work.
Partner with security and identity teams on identity‑aware and Zero Trust–aligned access patterns that protect corporate resources while enabling a seamless employee experience.
Serve as a senior technical escalation point during incidents and outages, leading end‑to‑end incident response, deep troubleshooting, and root‑cause analysis for network issues.
Develop and maintain clear network documentation, standards, diagrams, and operational runbooks that enable consistent operations and knowledge sharing across the team.
Provide technical mentorship and leadership through design reviews, pairing, and shared problem‑solving with other engineers.
Make pragmatic, cost‑conscious decisions that balance reliability, security, sustainability, and long‑term maintainability of our network environments.
Significant professional experience designing and operating enterprise on‑premises or campus network environments, or equivalent practical expertise gained in similar complex network settings.
Strong expertise with Juniper networking platforms, including switching, routing, and wireless technologies (for example, EX, QFX, SRX, and Mist‑based solutions).
Deep understanding of physical network infrastructure, such as MDF/IDF design, cabling, optics, and circuit provisioning.
Strong knowledge of LAN and WAN fundamentals, including TCP/IP, VLANs, routing protocols (for example, BGP and OSPF), and VRFs, as well as experience designing and troubleshooting enterprise Wi‑Fi networks.
Experience operating enterprise remote access solutions such as SSL VPNs, along with a solid grounding in network security principles and identity‑aware access concepts.
Experience with network monitoring and incident response practices that support operational excellence and reliable service delivery.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly to a range of audiences.

What We Do
Join our mission to give the people power to unlock life’s next chapter. Our homes are the heartbeat of our lives, and we believe that finding a home shouldn’t be so hard in today’s always-on world. That’s why we’re reimagining the traditional rules of real estate to make it easier than ever to move from one home to the next. Our journey began nearly 15 years ago with a handful of employees and one big idea: to make it radically easier for people to move. We began by helping people understand and track their homes with the Zestimate, our proprietary algorithm, and then with advanced technology and valuable connections with real estate professionals. Today, Zillow has become a household name. People are more likely to search for “Zillow” than “real estate,” and our name is often used as a verb. While other industries have ushered in a new era of convenience, the time for seamless and convenient real estate experience is now. This is our next chapter as a company. We’re looking for smart, passionate adventurers to join us as we reimagine the real estate transaction and change the way people buy, sell, rent and finance their homes.
