About the team as a senior systems engineer within zillow rentals, you’ll help design, build, and operate the core infrastructure that powers the zillow rentals experience. Our team owns shared cloud platform infrastructure and cross-cloud networking that supports more than 150 engineers across the rentals organization. You’ll partner closely with backend, frontend, and data teams to provide secure, reliable, and scalable foundations for customer-facing products.
About the role
in this role, you’ll be a hands-on contributor to infrastructure and developer platforms. You will use infrastructure as code, deep kubernetes expertise, and strong cloud networking fundamentals to design and operate systems across gcp and aws. You’ll drive reliability and security, lead incident investigations, and collaborate across engineering teams to deliver resilient, observable, and cost-effective infrastructure that enables rapid product delivery.
You will get to:
design, implement, and operate production infrastructure in gcp and/or aws, supporting high-scale, business-critical services for zillow rentals.
Build and maintain infrastructure as code (primarily with terraform), including modules, state management, and reusable patterns for platform services.
Own kubernetes platforms (e.g., gke/eks): perform cluster upgrades, tune workloads, manage teraform, argocd/helm-based deployments, and debug complex production issues.
Architect and secure cloud networking (vpcs, subnets, routing, load balancers, dns, tls, vpn, waf) and ingress/egress patterns for internal and external traffic.
