Software Development Engineering Manager

About the team

Zillow is on a mission to transform home buying, selling, and financing. The Activation team is responsible for the Activation and Retention of users of the Zillow brand, starting with their first experiences with Zillow and ideally leading to account formation and ending with habitual usage. It is the process of turning first-time and unknown users into known and authenticated long-term users with a preference for shopping, connecting, and transacting on Zillow.
