Senior Software Engineer, Big Data

About the role

At Zillow, the Data Insights team empowers teams across the company to create and consume trusted, self-service insights at scale. We build and operate the platform capabilities behind reporting, dashboards, interactive analytical applications, and AI-powered analytics. We also own key parts of Zillow's trusted metrics foundation and the compute and warehouse capabilities that power analytics across the business. Beyond the platform itself, we help define the standards, reusable patterns, and governance that make insights easier to build, easier to trust, and easier to scale across Zillow Group. This aligns with the team's broader direction around a single trusted metrics foundation, AI-native self-service, improved discovery, and tooling convergence. This team sits at the center of Zillow's data ecosystem. The systems we build support engineers, data scientists, executives, product managers, and business teams across Zillow Group. You'll work on a broad set of high-impact problems, from trusted metrics and platform architecture to AI-enabled analytics experiences. You'll help shape how teams across Zillow discover data, ask questions, and make decisions with confidence. We're hiring a Senior Software Development Engineer to help build the next generation of Zillow's analytics and insights platform. This role is ideal for an engineer with strong software engineering fundamentals and experience in data platforms or data engineering. Experience with AI/LLM-powered workflows is preferred. You'll work on high-impact platform problems at the intersection of trusted metrics, self-service analytics, metadata, and AI-powered workflows. You'll help make it easier for teams across Zillow to onboard to the platform, discover trusted data, ask better questions, and build insights without reinventing tooling or redefining metrics. Current work includes efforts around semantic consistency, onboarding, discoverability, and operationalizing AI-ready data workflows.
