Responsibilities
Lead and grow a team of 6–10 frontend engineers spanning web, iOS, and Android, fostering a culture of craft, cross-platform collaboration, and continuous improvement
Evolve and extend the UX for Zillow's AI Mode across platforms — owning sprint planning, roadmap execution, and cross-team coordination to continuously improve and expand one of Zillow's most high-visibility product experiences
Develop and coach your engineers — providing consistent feedback, supporting career growth, and creating an environment where people do their best work and feel a clear path forward
Partner across product, design, AI/ML, and peer engineering teams — aligning on requirements, establishing consistent UX principles across platforms, and driving integrated agentic experiences to production
Qualification
Required
5+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful hands-on work in frontend development for web (React, TypeScript, CSS) and/or mobile (iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin, or cross-platform frameworks)
3+ years of experience managing software engineering teams, with a demonstrated track record of developing and retaining strong engineers
Preferred
Experience building or managing teams that work on AI-powered or agentic applications, including familiarity with multimodal input/output (text, voice, images) and streaming UX patterns
Experience leading cross-platform frontend teams and navigating the trade-offs between platform-native and shared-component approaches
A people-first leader with genuine technical credibility in frontend development — you've shipped rich user-facing experiences on web and/or mobile and use that experience to guide your team without micromanaging
A champion for user experience quality — you hold a high bar for what great frontend work looks and feels like across web and mobile surfaces, and you bring the cross-platform perspective to keep those experiences consistent
A coach and developer of talent who takes pride in seeing your engineers grow, receive promotions, and build rewarding careers
A collaborative partner who builds trust across functions — product, design, AI/ML, and peer engineering teams — and drives outcomes through influence rather than authority
A practitioner of AI-native development — you actively use AI coding tools and assistants yourself, and champion their adoption across your team as a genuine force multiplier throughout the software development lifecycle
