Property data is the beating heart of Zillow; it is a foundational component that powers all of Zillow's products!
The Data Consolidation and Metrics Platform (DCMP) team owns a framework to consolidate data from multiple sources and deliver a single unified document to applications throughout the Zillow Group enterprise.

About the role

As a Data Engineer on the DCP team, you will architect and build foundational data pipelines and platforms to deliver up to date information to the entire Zillow infrastructure. You will work within a small team of software developers.

U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions.

In addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.

  • You thrive in ambiguity and learn quickly

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.
